Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 18 Jan 24
Rich and concentrated, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes reveals arose of plums, wild berries, vine smoke and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's deep and multidimensional, with succulent acids and sweet, melting tannins. This is always Boillot's honorary grand cru, and this vintage is no exception.
