Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes 1er Cru is blessed with some of the best aromatics from Louis Boillot this year, featuring copious, well-defined black cherry and bilberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening, almost confit-like, offering vivacious red cherries, orange zest and Moroccan spices toward the finish. This has great potential.
