Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Champonnets 1er Cru has much more fruit intensity than the Evocelles: Morello cherries, wild strawberries and touches of rooibos. Lovely. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins. Elegant and tensile. A heartwarming sense of sapidity and sensuality on the finish draws you back for another sip. This is very promising.
