Emblematic village of the Côte de Nuits, the Gevrey-Chambertin 2023 from Louis Latour sits among the great Burgundian reds that celebrate balance and depth. Here, Pinot Noir becomes the privileged interpreter of a mineral, spirited terroir. For the enthusiast seeking a sincere emotion, this wine offers a generous and structured framework, ideal to elevate bold cuisine. For the connoisseur, it delivers a clear reading of the 2023 vintage, carried by perfect ripening in late August and a precise élevage that polishes the material without weighing it down. Its style, both lithe and generous, resolves a subtle equation: breadth of palate, aromatic harmony and sustained persistence. In a plush drawing room as much as at a shared dinner table, it reveals Burgundy's sensitive side—the memory of the soil and the brilliance of the fruit. Beneath its ruby robe lies a tale of limestone soils and expert hands, written with the measured elegance of a historic house committed to the right gesture.

Assemblage et vinification

This Gevrey-Chambertin is made from Pinot Noir (100%), the signature grape of the Côte de Nuits. The vines, around 30 years old, draw their character from brown-red clay-limestone soils, shallow and stony, which give the wine its density and verticality. The harvest is manual, ensuring a meticulous selection of grapes at perfect maturity. Traditional open-vat vinification promotes a delicate extraction of tannins and colour, while the malolactic fermentation is completed at 100% to round the contours and add creaminess. The élevage, lasting 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels from the Louis Latour cooperage (about 20% new oak), delivers a finely integrated oak that highlights the fruit without overpowering it. The average yield of around 40 hl/ha guarantees good concentration and a clear expression of the terroir while preserving the freshness thread that marks great Burgundies.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Deep, luminous ruby with bright highlights. The material unfolds with exemplary clarity and slow tears herald a silky, concentrated texture.
• Nose : First the plush black cherry and Morello cherry, soon joined by a hint of liquorice and a delicate touch of vanilla from élevage. With aeration, stone notes, a floral lift evoking violet and a breath of warm spices complete a refined, precise and deeply expressive bouquet.
• Palate : Generous, caressing attack, silky tannins perfectly woven, a savoury mid-palate on ripe dark fruit, supported by a sapid freshness. The persistent finish echoes cherry, liquorice and fine oak, with a harmonious length that calls for food.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 15 and 16°C in large Burgundy glasses to give the wine room to reveal its nuances. Opening the bottle 30 minutes before service allows the bouquet to gain complexity while preserving the brightness of the fruit. If you decant, favour gentle aeration so as not to disturb the balance. This Gevrey-Chambertin can be enjoyed today for its aromatic generosity and velvety texture, and will evolve gracefully over the years depending on your storage conditions. At the table, its classic bearing and impeccable structure make it a natural companion to rustic cuisine as well as more contemporary gastronomic interpretations.

Accords mets et vin

• Starters : Comté gougères, ham with parsley, delicate poultry terrine. Savoury bites that prepare the palate and highlight the purity of the fruit without dulling it.
• First courses : eggs in red wine sauce, pâté en croûte, wild mushroom velouté. The depth of Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with creamy textures and forest aromas.
• Main courses : hare stew, venison fillet, roast duck with warm spices, dry-aged beef cut. Noble game and red meats find here a structured, ample and finely spiced partner.
• Cheeses : Époisses, Langres, aged Comté. The wine's aromatic depth and enveloping texture pair with persuasive pâte cheeses and washed rinds for a striking finale.
• Desserts : morello cherry tart, slightly less sweet dark chocolate fondant. Choose moderately sweet desserts to preserve balance and prolong the Pinot Noir's lovely bitters.
