2021 Henri Magnien Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Here too there is a whiff of wood framing denser aromas of just crushed dark berries and forest floor. There is even better volume and concentration to the middleweight flavors that are relatively sleekly texture thanks largely to the firm but fine tannins shaping the noticeably more complex and persistent finale. Worth checking out.  Burghound 89-92 Outstanding Top Value!

A mixture of 40-year-old vines and vines a century old (the oldest planted in 1915), the 2021Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, aged in 25% new oak, is perfumed and floral on the nose, displaying a melange of incense and iris flower with dark cherries and raspberry. Full of joie-de-vivre. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. It's quite fleshy and ripe but with underlying mineralité that pushes through on the finish. Excellent.  Neal Martin/Vinous 91-93
