Description
This low-lying vineyard is theoretically on the “wrong” – eastern – side of the main road, but there’s still an influence from the Combe de Lavaux. It’s an earlier-ripening site, but one that delivers plenty of charm. Carel’s softer approach has paid off with a palate that is not driven only by ripeness, but shows a more layered effect, too. Drink 2022-2032.

Critics reviews
Neal Martin MW 90-92/100
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais is earthy on the nose, the 45% whole cluster fruit imparting black pepper and truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, good grip and a dense finish for a Village Cru. I reckon this could give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure. Neil Martin, Vinous.com
