Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 31 Dec 15
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Aux Chezeaux, which Jean-Marie told me used to be a Premier Cru prior to the war, has a billowing bouquet of cranberry and red cherry fruit. The palate is succulent on the entry with fleshy strawberry and raspberry, a touch of soy on the back palate, lending fine delineation and sense of energy on the finish. Village cru flirting with premier cru quality? This is seriously good.
