Medium-to-dark ruby-colored, the aromatically tight and muted (at least on the day of my tasting) Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corbeaux is an intensely spicy, thick, juicy, cassis and blueberry-packed medium-to-full-bodied wine. It will make delicious robust drinking between 2002-2007. I was surprised by the uniformity of flavors and personality of the 1995 offerings: They all shared a black color, exhibiting dark, robust fruit flavors and hard tannic finishes. Stylistically they are reminiscent of Philippe Leclerc's wines, but without as much oak and depth of fruit. For most Burgundian domaines 1995 is a wonderful year for noting terroir differences, yet Boillot's wines share similar flavor profiles, often submerging as well as masking the wine's terroir nuances. As my ratings suggest, I did not factor this characteristic into my judgement on the wine's quality.This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
