The cheapest Gevrey Chambertin I've ever seen! Coillot Gevrey Chambertin 2017

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hello Mr Tweedy. A delightful review, and I was left believing I could taste and smell the wine 🍷 With Christmas around the corner what better wine to serve. Cheers 👍😀 PS. Hope you are feeling better.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thanks Andrew! I could very well have been affected by the impending arrival of Christmas - would be interesting to revisit this wine in spring and seem if I was still of a similar opinion!

[@Pseudopimelodidae]

Here in Finland Gevrey Chambertin also starts from 65-70 euros so I would definitely love a bottle for that price. Especially from 2017 which wasn't too hot. The Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes from 2017 was amazing for a village wine.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Yes I think that's the key for 2017 - no major disasters (I don't think much in the way of frosts or excessive rain to speak of) but not too not either. Just right in my opinion!

Hello! Usually confine comments to the famous Tweedy outdoors channel, highly recommend that to you if you haven’t seen it, but watching you describe another bottle of your beloved Gevrey-Chambertin made me decide to see where in France it was, find it’s not a million miles from Alise-Sainte-Reine the ancient Alesia where Vercingetorix made his final stand, we go there next spring to see the hillfort and will extend our tour to have a look at your favourite red wine location.. My knowledge of viticulture stops with Tesco Cote du Rhône but am impressed by your vocabulary and descriptive ability. Cheers.

Just a quick delurk to say how much I like your wine videos as well as your walking videos. Please do other villages too so I can develop my knowledge. I don’t reallyunderstand but peering inwards from beyond my glass wall of ignorance I get some sense of something civilised and nuanced

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thank you! I tend to be a bit set in my ways and mostly just flit between three villages (Gevrey Chambertin, Vosne Romanée and Nuits St Georges) in Burgundy plus a few other appellations which cover broader areas... but there are a few villages which lie between those three I really ought to explore a bit more - the likes of Chambolle Musigny and Morey St. Denis.

[@bamboocarman2335]

Your videos are never too long. Every one is an interesting and enjoyable treasure. Thank you Mr Tweedy.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thank you!

[@davidh8664]

You grabbed yourself a bargain there Mr Tweedy, well played Sir !

[@kenbakie4590]

Yet Another excellent review Tweedy and it looks like you sniffed out a bargain, at least by Gevrey Chambertin standards. I generally find your videos to be succinct, but yet you still manage to cover the important details. You can't please all the people all the time, but with all your Christmas references in this video, I was almost expecting to see Santa and his sleigh trundling past in the background.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thanks Ken!

Good review and I think you got it for a good price. I did a quick wine-searcher search out of interest. The latest vintage (2022) is stocked by two merchants - £49 & £60 pb inc. taxes. The 2017 is cheaper with one merchant listing it at £36 so I guess it might reflect the price increases for more recent vintages.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thanks Dave - yes it does sound like the "exchange" type of business model Lay & Wheeler have may have helped with the pricing here - I assume the client has some input into choosing the pricing and perhaps they just wanted to offload this ASAP?

[@davidberlanny3308]

Hi John, I'm hoping Santa is watching and there are still two bottles left, both MrWC and me have GC on our Christmas lists!! Holly? Spices? edible baking paper? Sounds like Mince Pies to me!! Do your reviews how you want to. I thoroughly enjoy the different backdrops and views plus the occasional special guest wandering in off the woods. Todays outro was excellent. Here's a recommendation for music maybe you've already come across her, Esther Abrami. I used her on the only walking video that I've done so far and it transformed some really terrible camera work. A walk in the woods its called All the best!!

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thanks David - yes mince pies would have been a good point of reference here too!

[@leemorris1360]

Good morning, Tweedy. Sounds like you got a bargain there, "Treedy" 😃 An all round Christmassy theme with that bottle, and a sprig of holly in shot for good measure as well 😁👍 Good to hear you are feeling better now. Have a good day.

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thanks Lee!

[@mechanicom]

Great videos as always and thanks for recommending that website!

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Thank you! The stock seems to change rapidly at Lay and Wheeler, so for someone like me who likes to constantly try new things it's great.

[@MrDurgen]

Great video, I need to try some Gevrey Chambertin.

[@colinriley123]

With me, its being a bargain would add considerably to my enjoyment!

[@salan3]

Ordered a case. Thanks

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Crikey - I really hope this isn't a disappointment!

[@salan3]

@@BurgundyWithTweedy I will let you know lol. It will be here for xmas

[@michaelgourlay1746]

Chambolle Musigny for me, but a close call. To each his own. 🍷

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

I think my New Year's resolution will be to try some more wines from Chambolle Musigny - and Morey St. Denis - in 2025!

[@AShiga]

Speaking of bargains, I got hold of a couple of 2015 Vosne-Romanée En Barreaux, Misset-Cheron for £50 a few months ago. Tried one of them last month, was enthralled by it, realised that it is an upward neighbour of Cros-Parantoux, then bought 3 more of the 4 Yapp Bros had left. I'm not very knowledgeable of Vosne-Romanee for (obvious) economic reasons so I reckon that was a hell of a bargain. IDK why they were that cheap considering the second cheapest En Barreaux on the market is 80 quid (same winery), perhaps because the winery was renamed to Domaine du Couvent?

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

Yes that does sound like a good price - I seldom see Vosne Romanée under £70, and it can of course go stratospherically higher. Plus it's a much smaller village than Gevrey Chambertin - about half the size in terms of hectares under vine...? So I'm sure that pushes prices up too, with or without DRC.

[@vonroretz3307]

Have you perchance tried Remi-Seguin’s Gevrey from 2017 ?

[@BurgundyWithTweedy]

No I don't think I have - is it good?

[@vonroretz3307]

@ Had a one a couple of years ago and remember it being good. Still have two more 2017’s.
