Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots stands out for its aromatic lift and pure expressiveness. The Goulots blossoms in all directions, with layers of bright, intensely perfumed fruit and compelling overall balance. Seamless and beautiful, the 2011 impresses for its exceptional overall harmony. The cool site on the top of the slope complements some of the more overt qualities of the year. Sweet dark cherries, mint and cloves flow through to the inviting finish.

A very small premier cru. Cool north of the village near Combe aux Moines. Took JMF 14 years to understand. Dark crimson. Modest nose and lovely broad, sweet fruit. Rich and appealing. I could just do with a little more life and zest. Neat finish, long. Not classical. (JR)
