Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champonnet 1er Cru offers slightly darker fruit on the nose, freshly-rolled tobacco and a hint of cigar smoke. Sweet entry on the palate, quite fleshy though one of the few in this flight that just misses acidic "bite", rendering the finish a little monotonous vis-à-vis its peers. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
