Tasting notes
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel-Air is showing well, revealing scents of cassis, spices and grilled ceps, as well as a delicate top note of juniper. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with youthfully chalky tannins and a bright spine of acidity.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air 1er Cru comes from vines close to the forest, leaving it vulnerable to hungry boars. At 30% whole-bunch fruit, it has an attractive bouquet with pressed rose petals and a touch of lavender infusing the red berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate offers fine-grained tannins. Quite lithe and supple, with gentle grip and a well-defined, minerally finish. Recommended.
