Description
From six different lieux-dits.
Here, too, there is a whiff of herbal tea character sitting atop the earthier and more sauvage-influenced red berry fruit aromas. The sleek and delicious medium-bodied flavours are not quite as rich, though they are more precise and more mineral-driven on the impressively long and well-balanced finale. This is a fine Gevrey Villages that is worth thinking about.
Drink from 2028 onward

Critics reviews
William Kelley 89-90/100
Offering aromas of orange rind, peonies, spices and sweet red berries, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with an ample, enveloping core of fruit and a broad, saline finish.

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100
A blend of all their 16 plots, one-third each from across the D974, by the Grands Crus and to the north. The average age is 60-70 years.
Full purple, quite a dark fruit with some reduction. More perfume comes out behind. A rich, concentrated dark raspberry fruit, there is no doubting the ripeness of the juice and good concentration. The tannins are refined, and there is enough acidity—also a touch of salinity.
Drink 2025 - 2030
About this wine
Gevrey-Chambertin
Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in Burgundy’s Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the classic style is typically deeper in colour, firmer in body and more tannic in structure than most red Burgundy. While in the past there have been myriad underperformers here, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best can develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world.
