Note di degustazione
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru is open-knit and loamy on the nose, perhaps not quite as exuberant as the Les Goulots from Heresztyn-Mazzini, almost peaty with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a nicely polished opening, some quality new oak here (François Frères?) assiduously used and lending a silky modern sheen towards the finish. Very fine, though I notice just a touch of heat on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru is overly floral on the nose with raspberry, cranberry and light loamy aromas, more oyster shell scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with fine balance, very terroir-driven with great tension and vibrant red cherry and strawberry fruit bursting forth on the finish. Superb.
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru offers red currant, crushed strawberry and cranberry scents on the nose, plus a creaminess that develops with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and generous, leading to a sweet, orange sorbet and marmalade-infused finish. This is a well-made wine but not imbued with the great longevity of other crus from the domaine.
