Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Bel Air” Reviews

 A very fresh and mildly sauvage noseoffers up mostly dark berry fruit scents that are deftly trimmed in just enough wood to
warrant remarking upon. There is good punch and detail to the overtly stony and delicious middle weight flavors that
possess a seductive mid-palate yet the finish tightens up quickly as it displays hints of both austerity and rusticity.
This balanced effort is richer than the En Foule but interestingly, it’s a bit less complex, at least at present.

 Healthy bright red. Musky red fruits plus a hint of game on the nose. Quite sweet and silky but the flavors of red fruits, dried rose, pepper and spices are given shape by pungent saline minerality. Finishes juicy and quite firm, with lovely lingering red fruit and spice flavors. Really communicates the crunchiness of the vintage's better examples but will need time to unfold.
