Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022

The 2022 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the depth and complexity that old vines can bring to this prestigious appellation. The combination of vine age and the warmth of the 2022 vintage has produced a wine of notable concentration and character.

The nose is impressively layered, offering ripe red and black fruits - particularly cherries and blackberries - complemented by subtle spice notes and an underlying earthiness typical of mature Gevrey Chambertin vines. The aromatic complexity speaks to both the age of the vines and Charlopin's thoughtful winemaking approach.

On the palate, the wine displays excellent concentration and depth while maintaining elegance. The old vines contribute to a particularly textured mid-palate, with refined tannins providing sophisticated structure. The finish is long and harmonious, with waves of fruit and spice carrying through, underscored by a subtle mineral character that reflects the limestone-rich soils.

This wine beautifully demonstrates both the benefits of old vine material and Charlopin's skilled interpretation of Gevrey Chambertin terroir.
