The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois comes from the small section of the village cru that sticks out into Griotte and Charmes (the section of the parcel that stretchces down to the RN74 is sold off to negociants.) There is a sense of volume and generosity on the nose with raspberry and crushed-strawberry scents, intermingling with violet (perhaps due to its proximity to Griotte?) The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fresh and crisp with well-judged acidity and a very silky, almost airy finish that is long and tender. Superb. Just three or four barrels produced.
