John Gilman om:
Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l'Aulne
-- John Gilman: In 2016, the Gevrey AC here is mostly made from purchased grapes vinified by Laurent Ponsot, but he noted that he had also bought a couple of barrels to augment the cuvée in this vintage. The wine is superb, wafting from the glass in a fine and quite complex mélange of red and black cherries, gamebird, a complex base of soil, a touch of nutskin, mustard seed and coffee. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a superb core, fine-grained tannins and lovely transparency and grip on the long, poised and vibrant finish. This is high class juice and clearly of premier cru quality this year! 92/100
