Gevrey Chambertin “Les Roncevies” 2013 (Marchand Tawse)
£60.00
Red Wine of France
Beautiful aromas of roses, red berries, earth, game and pepper. The initially delicate, fragrant fruit on the palate is perfectly balanced by the acidity. The flavour grows stronger in the mid-palate before a lingering, fruity finish. A very pretty wine indeed.
