Notes:

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. Vinous Media / Neal Martin 91

A depth of ruby purple. This is tenser and more backward, with more prominent tannins and good acidity. The fruit has a slightly darker raspberry feel to it. This will need significantly longer. The wood tannins are a little fresh. If you want a wine to drink a little earlier, then the straight Gevrey-Chambertin would be the choice. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Nov 2024. Jasper Morris 90-93

A slightly more deeply pitched and earthier nose reflects notes of poached plum, the sauvage and that wild forest floor character. There is both better density and a finer mouthfeel to the detailed medium-bodied flavors that are noticeably firmer on the slightly long and more complex finale. One to consider. 89 Outstanding Top Value!
