Gevrey Chambertin Village - 2022
- AppellationGevrey-Chambertin
- Production:556 bouteilles et 18 magnums.
- PhilosophyThe great, world-renowned village of the northern Côte de Nuits. The Delaunay family, who was originally from Dijon but moved to the Côte de Nuits, has had a long-standing penchant for this village and has always stood out for the quality of its wines from this appellation. Gevrey-Chambertins are fleshy, delectable, intense wines that are often described as “masculine”, boasting notes of dark fruit and liquorice. We hope that you will discover these characteristics in this great classic.
- TerroirThe vines of Gevrey-Chambertin are some of the oldest in Burgundy. Viticulture here dates back to the 1st century AD. As early as the 6th century, Gevrey was listed among the finest wines in Burgundy, which is owed in particular to the foundation of the Bèze Abbey in 640. The grapes for this cuvée were sourced from different climats spread throughout the village: “Aux Chezeaux”, “Les Reniards”, “Les Platières” and “Les Pincevin”. The vines grow at altitudes of between 250 and 300 m in marly soil covered by scree and iron-rich red silt from the plateau. The gravel lends the wine elegance and finesse while the fossil-rich, clayey marls give it body and firmness. Exposure to the sun - mainly southeast and east – is ideal.
- Vinification and ageingThe harvest was carried out at perfect maturity and the pressing was carried out in whole harvests for half of the harvest. Each plot that makes up the cuvée is vinified and aged separately. After a short cold pre-fermentation maceration, the vinification lasts about fifteen days, punctuated by daily punching down and pumping over, depending on the tasting of the day. The wines are put into barrels and aged in barrels (40% new barrels from the forests of central France) for 16 months before final blending and bottling.
- Tasting notesSublime deep red color. On the nose, superb notes of aging emerge immediately, evoking fresh undergrowth and aromatic herbs (bay leaf, thyme). Beautiful freshness recalling the green and floral nuances of bramble leaf. Warm scents of cocoa then mingle with aromas of raspberry and cherry, with a subtle touch of vanilla. On the palate, the wine demonstrates elegance and finesse. The attack is beautiful and round, followed by a dense mid-palate, supported by structuring and well-coated tannins. A beautiful acidity gives the wine relief and prolongs the length in the mouth. The fruity cherry finish is accompanied by a fresh touch of peppermint and chlorophyll, accentuating the freshness of the tannins. An expressive wine, with a beautiful intensity and character.
