Tasting notes
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru has a simple, well-defined but rather conservative nose, slightly monotone compared to its peers. (Maybe a bit too extracted?) The palate bulges with red cherry and raspberry fruit, the wood tannins jutting out a little. Somewhat out of sorts at the moment; it needs another two or three years to integrate, and I will judge it then. Closure is Diam 30 Organic. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air 1er Cru was showing a little reduction on the day of my visit, making it difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite tensile and linear, and perhaps lacking just a bit of substance toward the sour cherry tinged finish.
