Tasting notes
Bright, moderately saturated medium red. Blacker and more gamey on the nose than the Cherbaudes, offering scents of blackberry, blueberry, cherry and spices. (These vines are higher on the slope and further north than the Cherbaudes and thus the wine is denser, notes Fourrier. ) Plush and sweet but nicely focused: I could drink this beauty right now! Finishes fine-grained and long, with sweet tannins and some apparent oakiness.

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Goulots has a very well defined bouquet with a subtle marine influence infusing the red and black fruit. It blossoms nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite crisp in the mouth and nicely structured with a touch of tobacco on the saline finish. I love this -- very regal and with the substance to age.
Very small premier cru in the cool north of the village near Combe aux Moines, on rocks. JM Fourrier sees comparisons with Cros Parantoux. Bright crimson. Light nose. But good attack on the palate. Really racy and punchy. This has lift and energy. (JR)
