The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is rich and creamy, delivering aromas of sweet cassis, berries, burning embers and spices, framed by a touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a ripe core of fruit and supple tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a little perplexing on the nose, earthier than expected, and perhaps missing the cohesion that I found on the Côte de Nuits. The palate is more promising, with firm tannins that impart backbone, dark berry fruit laced with graphite, fine depth and more harmony toward the finish. There is just a hint of espresso in the background here. Drink over the next three to ten years.
