Gevrey Chambertin Bel Air Premier Cru 2020The 2020 Gevrey Chambertin Bel Air Premier Cru from Philippe Charlopin beautifully exemplifies both the producer's expertise and the distinct character of this premier cru vineyard. Crafted in the family's historic cellars in Morey Saint Denis, this wine reflects Charlopin's training under Henri Jayer and his commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. The bouquet is wonderfully expressive, offering layers of cherry and blueberry fruit, interwoven

There is excellent richness to the dense and very serious medium-bodied flavors where the underlying structural elements are notably ripe
