Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from three parcels of extremely old vines, one plot up to 120 years of age. Despite a little reduction, this is very intense, offering darker fruit than the regular Gevrey Village. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red fruit on the entry laced with blood orange, fine tannins and a compact but quite sustained finish. A hint of fresh fig appears on the aftertaste. Superb.
