2010 Charles Audoin Gevrey Chambertin

I have previously posted a tasting note on the 2009 Charles Audoin Marsannay Clos du Roy.Now it was time for the same producer, but new vintage and new appellation, the Gevrey Chambertin.

The domaine is most knowned for its Marsannay wines. Of the total of 9 red wines that Audoin makes, 6 of them are Marsannay, 2 are Fixin and just one is Gevrey Chambertin.

The wine has a typical Pinot colour and the same goes for the nose, where I find floral notes, raspberries and minerality. A very pleasent nose.
While the nose is red fruit, the palate is more on the darker side. I get plum, soil but also some red cherries. The finnish has a very clean cut acidity, smal red cherries, pepper and a flinty minerality.

With more air the initial mouthfeel changes. I get nice strawberry and raspberry jam. Not the artificial kind, but the home made style. The finnish stays the same, but adds perhaps an even more gripping acidity. 90 points
