Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots 1er Cru showed just a very tiny reduction on the nose when I visited, though it unfurls to reveal a mixture of red and black fruit, touches of pencil box and pine cones. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite poised and lightly spiced as it fans out on the finish, albeit in controlled finish. Impressive persistence here - this is one for the long-haul.
