2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Fonteny Premier Cru

 

 

 

Ray Jordan, The West Weekend, 21st January 2012


"This is masterfully made pinot noir. Such extraordinary mouthfeel and texture coming from some exceptional fruit treated with extended time in new Allier oak. Silky and fine in the mouth but with generosity and power. Has a light minerally thread supporting the spine to a long, sustained finish. Perfect with duck confit."

98 Points

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph Kyte-Powell, Epicure - The Age, 14th February 2012


"A collaboration by Burgundy's Pascal Marchand and Western Australia's Burch family, this elegant French pinot noir counterpoints the old and new worlds. Spicy raspberry and dark cherry fruit offer modernity; middleweight palate, texture and finely balanced tannins supply tradition."

Ralph Kyte-Powell's Five Star definition: "A superb example, a near perfect wine of great character, worthy of the big occasion and the best company."
