Tasting Notes

85-87
Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes 1er Cru offers light raspberry and briary scents on the nose, well-defined though like other cuvées this year, lacking fruit concentration. The palate is sweet and surprisingly candied on the entry, orange zest and marmalade infusing the red fruit, the oak a little disjointed on the finish despite a modest percentage. This needs time to knit together.
