Stephen Tanzer 92 points www.vinous.com Good medium red; a bit less saturated than the Champonnets and Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The most expressive on the nose of these three premier crus, offering scents of black raspberry, smoky minerals, rose petal and spices. Plush, savory and sweet, boasting excellent depth to its restrained flavors of red and darker berries. Still youthfully wound-up but the wine’s breadth and fine-grained texture are already impressive. A step beyond the other Gevrey premier crus in sweetness, finesse and length. Finishes with serious but integrated tannins and noteworthy subtle length. This is almost 2015-like in its richness but can’t match Esmonin’s two 2016 grand crus for texture.
