2023 Gevrey Chambertin

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, matured in 55% new oak, has an effervescent bouquet of red fruit, orange zest and a touch of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky entry. Quite plush for a Gevrey, perhaps this is one where I might just dial down the new oak a tad. This is a precocious and attractive Gevrey, but it will need two or three years to soak up the wood.
