Bright, fresh cherry fruit is tinged with vanilla as well as lemon and tangerine oil on the pungent nose and abundantly juicy palate of Ponsot’s 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee de l’Abeille, a cuvee cut from the same –almost white wine-like – cloth as its appellation Bourgogne sibling. There is a subtly sense of satin to the texture here and no sense of bifurcation or awkward tartness. Practically Chablis-like suggestions of meat stock and mineral savor inform a long, lip smacking finish. This should be fascinating to follow and to creatively employ at table over the next 5-7 years, though whether for longer than that I don’t feel at all able to predict given the wine’s literally off-the-charts character.
