The Story

Written Notes

I couldn’t believe this was from 1934, and even more that it was bottled in 1937 (and not reconditioned). This bottle of 1934 Gaston-Roupnel Chambertin showed the power and acid of 1934, one of the all-time great vintages, but this bottle came up short on its fruit and flavors (89).
