Tasting notes
A perfumed and exceptionally cool, pretty and airy nose reflects notes of mostly wild red cherry, dark currant and a whiff of spice character. There is excellent delineation to the more mineral-driven if less fleshy middleweight flavors that deliver just a bit more overall depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and chiseled finale. This is textbook Goulots and decidedly understated in style. Lovely. Outstanding

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots is nicely balanced, unfurling in the glass with scents of strawberries and cherries mingled with licorice and peony. Medium to full-bodied, lively and seamless, with powdery tannins and a mineral finish, it's a success.

Goulots sits up-slope from premier cru Champeaux and north of the Combe aux Moines. It borders Evocelles, which extends into Brochon. In 2022, it delivered a wine with a bright and forward cherry fruit and a suggestion of violets. Jean-Marie describes it as 'the summit of Gevrey'; the texture is fresh and crisp, with a silky feel and a lingering finish. It will be ready to drink sooner than the other premier crus in this cellar; enjoy it while you wait for your Clos Saint-Jacques.
