2023 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Quite sweet and broad and plump. Duvet-plump. A confit of strawberries. But there is structure on the finish which saves it from unravelling. Early drinking, perhaps. (TC)

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from eight parcels toward the north of the village. There is certainly more complexity than the Village on the nose. It is well-knit and focused with brambly red fruit tones commingling with briar and iris flower notes. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, gentle grip and a subtle salinity toward the finish. This should age with style in bottle.
