2020 Jacques Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru comes from the "young old vines", around 25-years in age, and is 100% de-stemmed. It’s funny because on the nose, its spiciness implies there are some stems in this blend, well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, velvety opening. This is plush and seductive, quite Vosne-like in style, some new oak to be subsumed on the finish. I cannot help falling for this Gevrey and you might too.
