Gevrey Chambertin Terres Blanches 2022

The 2022 Gevrey Chambertin Terres Blanches from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the distinctive character of this lieu-dit, named for its white limestone-rich soils.

The nose is expressive and precise, offering bright red fruits and dark cherries, complemented by subtle spice notes and a pronounced mineral character that reflects the site's distinctive white soils. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural freshness preserved by the limestone terroir.

On the palate, the wine displays good concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture is refined yet structured, with fine-grained tannins providing elegant support to the pure fruit core. The limestone-rich soils contribute a precise mineral tension, while the warmth of 2022 brings beautiful ripeness. The finish is long and detailed, with fruit and mineral notes carrying through.

This wine captures both the unique character of Terres Blanches and Charlopin's ability to translate distinctive terroir into wines of clarity and precision.
