Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes 1er Cru has a fragrant and floral bouquet that you might mistake for Boillot’s better half’s wine (Ghislaine Barthod). The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red fruit, just a little greenness towards the finish that nags away, though it should be assimilated with bottle age. Nice salinity here.
