The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, which includes 30% whole bunch, has a light reduction on the nose, with more red fruit, undergrowth and hints of autumn bonfire. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, nicely detailed with a silky texture. This is fleshy and sweet, a little richer than its peers, yet well balanced with a dash of black pepper on the finish. Drink over the next decade. - By Neal Martin on November 2024
89-92 points Allen Meadows, Burghound
"A discreet application of wood can be found on the ripe and fresh aromas of various red and dark berries, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple but punchy medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality that adds a sense of lift to the youthfully austere, complex and lingering finale. Lovely and understated and well-worth considering."
