2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1.Cru Les Goulots V Vignes Fourrier

As is usually the case this is cooler and a bit more elegant with its high-toned array of wild red berry fruit scents that are liberally cut with hints of earth, game and floral hints. There is a palpable sense of underlying tension to the more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that culminate in a racy, precise and mildly austere finale that delivers terrific persistence. I very much like the focus and evident upside development potential.

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Goulots has a very well defined bouquet with a subtle marine influence infusing the red and black fruit. It blossoms nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite crisp in the mouth and nicely structured with a touch of tobacco on the saline finish. I love this -- very regal and with the substance to age.
