One of the most admired villages of the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin embodies a sturdy elegance that the Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2022, Domaine A.-F. Gros showcases brilliantly. Born from a careful selection on the Les Justice and La Corvée climats, in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, this Pinot Noir captures the generosity of the vintage while preserving the freshness that defines great balance. The domaine’s approach, precise and measured, favours fruit purity, the clarity of the tannins and an aromatic depth without excess. If you are looking for a characterful red to accompany a refined table without overpowering it, or a bottle for short- to medium-term cellaring that will develop more complex nuances over the years, this cuvée meets those expectations with remarkable ease thanks to a juicy backbone, a finely wrapped tannin grain and subtly integrated oak ageing. It stands out for its controlled intensity, satisfying length and a truthful expression of terroir that will appeal to informed enthusiasts and curious aesthetes alike.

Blend and vinification

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the emblematic Burgundy grape, using grapes selected from Les Justice and La Corvée. True to the spirit of Domaine A.-F. Gros, vinification aims to preserve fruit precision and terroir expression. The ageing, carried out in oak barrels with a measured proportion of new oak, brings definition and elegance without masking the vintage’s personality. This approach gives the wine a supple yet assured structure and a delicate mouthfeel, creating harmony between intensity, tension and silkiness.

Tasting notes

• Colour : Deep ruby with garnet highlights, clear and luminous, announcing confident ripeness and controlled concentration.
• Nose : Nuanced bouquet of cherry and raspberry, highlighted by notes of wild strawberry. Earthy and fine spice accents mingle with discreet oak, suggesting blond tobacco leaf and a hint of delicate toast.
• Palate : Precise, lifted attack, core of pure, juicy red fruit, firm yet fine tannins that provide structure without weight. The finish, long and savoury, offers digestible freshness and a clean, spicy echo.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve between 15 and 16°C in Burgundy-style wine glasses to open the aromatic range and refine the texture. Aerating the bottle for 30 to 45 minutes or using a short decant can help soften tannins and reveal the fruit. Store your bottles quietly, away from light, ideally around 12°C. This cuvée is already charming and has a cellaring potential of 5 to 10 years depending on storage conditions, evolving toward more complex notes of undergrowth, spice and truffle.

Food pairings

• Roast poultry : guinea fowl, free-range chicken or capon, where the wine’s freshness enhances while respecting the delicacy of the meat.
• Duck : pink magret, confit parmentier or glazed breast, the savoury flesh interacting with the depth of the fruit and the spicy thread.
• Game birds : pigeon or partridge, served with a red-berry or mushroom reduction, to highlight the texture and momentum of the Pinot Noir.
• Grilled red meats : rib steak or rare hanger steak, where the silky firmness of the tannins meets the meat juices and grill char.
• Burgundian soft cheeses : Époisses, Cîteaux or Soumaintrain, whose richness finds a counterpoint in the wine’s tension and fruit brightness.
