Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2021-2036, Neal Martin, Jan 2019
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air 1er Cru includes 35% whole bunch fruit and comes from an equal blend of young and older vines. It has a light, slightly earthy bouquet that takes a few moments to find harmony, crushed stony aromas complementing the black fruit. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, finely-tuned acidity and quite good substance toward the second half. A prickle of spice lingers on the aftertaste. Recommended.
