Reviews & Scores
A cool and very restrained nose features essence of red pinot fruit, raspberry and subtle sauvage hints. There is notably good body and mid-palate concentration to the attractively mineral-infused flavors that possess firm tannins and very fine length on the moderately austere finale. This is also very pretty though it could use better depth, so some patience recommended. - BH

A favourite spot for Romain, which he feels has really benefited from global warming (thus far). The colour is a relatively dense red purple, and the bouquet delivers an explosion of ripe fruit, raspberry and strawberry together, with energy. It certainly fills the mouth and while the fruit is fresh at the back, this wine has much less of the peppery aspect. - JM

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru has an airy, floral nose, with fine delineation, maybe not quite as precise as the Morey La Riotte by direct comparison. The palate is sweet and quite candied on the opening, sappy with redcurrant and raspberry fruit, an underlying sour cherry note lending tension on the finish. Modest length. Well crafted. - VM
