Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Songes is more opulent and richer on the nose compared directly with the Les Jouises, though it does not convey the same delineation or mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with vivid red berry fruit, white pepper and an almost citric note towards the finish. Enjoyable as this is, I am more smitten by the elegance of the Les Jouises this year.
