Gevrey Chambertin, Dix Climats, 2023
A markedly floral, fresh nose with briary Gevrey fruit that heralds a pleasing combination of silky, pure fruit and light spice and also a fine tannic spine. A joyous Gevrey, with good energy and a snappy little edge of Gevrey minerality. The translucency gives this an especially pleasing feel. A blend of 10 village parcels, fermented with 30% whole bunches and aged in 40% new oak of light toast.
critic reviews
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Dix Climats comes from ten climats, funnily enough. Each is vinified separately with 20% whole bunch. It has a brisk bouquet with nicely defined blackberry and redcurrant fruit and just a touch of iris flower in the background. The palate is ripe on the entry with pastille-like purity, a little candied in style, with a dab of licorice toward the finish. Fine.
