2022 Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes, Denis Bachelet
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is fleshy and gourmand, bursting with aromas of cherries, cassis, sweet spices, orange rind and peony. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and enveloping, with powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's beautifully balanced. ~ (92) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024
A softly oaked nose consists of slightly cooler aromas of red currant, newly turned earth, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. There is a bit more volume and mid-palate concentration to the more mineral-inflected flavors that deliver slightly better depth and persistence on the impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a very fine Gevrey villages that is well worth considering. ~ (92) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2024
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, matured in around 50% new oak, has a dense blackberry and briar nose with undergrowth and iris flower touches. The palate has a firm backbone, quite tight at the moment (maybe because, as Bachelet points out, it's a leaf day), and a gentle grip with a tightly wound yet fresh, saline finish. I would afford this two or three years in bottle. ~ (92) Neal Martin, Vinous 11-1-2023
