Carved with the care of a craftsman, the Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2023 from Domaine A.F. Gros delivers an intensely classic expression of the Côte de Nuits. Pinot Noir finds a setting that brings forward the grace of fruit, the uprightness of a measured structure and the nobility of a clearly defined terroir. On the palate, it immediately evokes an early-morning stroll through a Burgundian orchard, where freshness highlights the accuracy of the aromas. This cuvée appeals to lovers of pure, nuanced expressions, those seeking a precise table wine that can converse with bold dishes without overpowering them. It stands out for its savoury style and clean finish, supported by fine tannins and an easy energy, promising a refined tasting today as well as after a few years in the cellar.

Blend and vinification

This Gevrey-Chambertin Village is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the emblematic grape of Burgundy, grown under the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée Gevrey-Chambertin. The 2023 vintage delivers a medium-bodied, precise and upright profile. A measured inclusion of stems during vinification provides a fresh spine and a subtle tactile sensation, preserving the fruit's brightness and length on the palate. The La Justice parcel, known for producing expressive and elegant wines, brings its character to the cuvée through delicate sap and serious structure. The ageing, carried out with restraint, faithfully preserves the identity of the cru, favouring harmony, aromatic clarity and a balance between intensity and finesse.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Deep, luminous ruby with a delicately translucent rim announcing measured ripeness and nuanced extraction.
• Nose : Burst of strawberry and cherry, a bouquet of rose, highlighted by elegant white pepper and a smoky touch that signs the terroir. The whole breathes clarity and precision without heaviness.
• Palate : Gentle attack, medium-bodied with a supple texture, fine tannins carrying a serious structure. Crisp red fruit stretches over a juicy frame, the freshness from the stems pulls the finish taut, long, clean and flavoursome.

Serving temperature and advice

Serve between 15 and 16°C in Burgundy-type glasses to release the wine’s full aromatic range. A light airing a few minutes before serving helps refine the spice and harmonise the fruit. This Gevrey-Chambertin Village has medium-term ageing potential, ideal for developing a patina and revealing more complex nuances. In the cellar, store the bottle quietly, protected from temperature fluctuations and light to preserve aromatic purity and tannic structure.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : delicate charcuterie, gougères, poultry rillettes, herb pâté en croûte.
• Starters : œufs en meurette, rabbit terrine, veal tartare with capers, mushrooms sautéed in browned butter.
• Main courses : roast duck, free-range guinea fowl, feathered game stewed in a casserole, braised beef, pink veal with morels, glazed root vegetables.
• Cheeses : aged comté, brillat-savarin, tomme de Savoie, ash-covered goat, to highlight the finesse of the tannins.
• Desserts : lightly sweetened thin red fruit tart that lets the wine express itself, or high-percentage dark chocolate.
