This shows the lovely character of the 2013 vintage: high acid, beautiful bouquet, and drinking great now. (And shhh — Blue Hill Restaurant is killing it on their wine list!)

2013 Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 

SALE PRICE $420 6pack 

As is the case with almost every wine that issues from the Harmand-Geoffroy cellars, this cuvée is the product of very old vines; in this instance, the vines were planted 50 to 80 years ago. The result is one of the most powerful wines in the cellar that shows dark, almost somber fruit, a wine that is reticent in its youth and quite profound with seven to ten years of age. The parcels for this wine (En Champs, Champerrier, Combes du Dessus) are situated just beneath the fine 1er Cru “Les Champeaux” and the wine reflects the sturdy, complex aspect of the vines on the north side of Gevrey, the Brochon side.

Gerard Harmand and his son, Philippe, now lead this family-run estate that was established in the late nineteenth century. The viticulture is traditional to its core: the soil is turned by tractor and by hand, herbicides are not used, all in the cause of permitting the roots to reach deeply in their search for “terroir”; no chemical fertilizers are applied nor are insecticides used; debudding is practiced to eliminate undesirable growth, a “vendange verte” is done when necessary and the harvest is, of course, manual.
