Tasting notes
Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Sweet red fruits on the nose, as well as the more classic dark and spicy Gevrey fruit. Chewy tannins, deep fruit, firm, dry tannins. An impressive village wine that shows the concentration of old vines. A little bit oaky now but has the core of fruit to hold the balance. (JH)

A blend of different vineyards of 70-year-old vines, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has less whole bunches compared to previous vintages (40%). It has a slightly conservative nose, backward at first, unfolding with tertiary/floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, just a splash of balsamic behind the red berry fruit. Just missing a little length but fresh from start to finish. Fine.
