Neil Beckett | A quite magnificent village wine, even for Gevrey in this vintage. Jérôme explains that the domaine now has some 30 parcels across 11ha (27 acres), including lieux-dits Clos Prieur and Les Jeunes Rois, giving a global overview of the village, but after blind and rigorously selective tastings he bottles only three fifths, selling off the rest. Medium-deep ruby. A beautiful nose, complex and harmonious, not "big" but fresh, intense, and intricate, with dark cherry, kirsch, light licorice (no whole-bunch). Astonishing volume, with a layered richness, but not in the least heavy or ugainly, properly structured with high-quality tannins. | 91
