Goedhuis, December 2023
This is a fine cuvée made from eight different parcels of Gevrey Chambertin that the domaine owns in the village. If tasted blind I am sure it would be placed in the Premier Cru category: it has everything. Layered dark hedgerow fruit with savoury notes, wild and gamey, with bags of personality, it fills the palate with depth and density. The memory of tasting it lasts for a very long time. Excellent.

Neal Martin, November 2023, Score: 88-90
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a perfumed and floral bouquet with pressed white flowers percolating through the red berry fruit, though it needs more precision. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. It’s not a powerhouse Gevrey, but it is well-balanced with a transparent and appealing finish. Drink 2026 - 2036. 89 - 90 points. Neal Martin.

Burghound, January 2024, Score: 89-91
Exclusively from old vines of an indeterminate age located in 8 different lieux-dits, the largest of which is Le Fourneau. Moderate reduction renders the nose tough to assess today. Otherwise there is a good freshness and tension to the solidly concentrated and delineated mediuum-bodied flavours that exude a more subtle minerality on the firmly austere but not really rustic finale. Good stuff and worth checking out plus it will age. Drinking: 2030+

Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 88-90
A pretty mid ruby purple. The nose also is stylish with lighter red berries, some strawberry, no obvious effect of hail. Though there is plenty of fruit, it comes across as softer and a little low in acidity. Ready soon. Drink from 2027-2032.

Louis is the seventh generation of vignerons in Burgundy from a family who is mostly known for their Côte de Beaune wines such as Pommard and Volnay however, several Côte de Nuits appellations including Gevrey Chambertin were added to the repertoire in 1978. Many of these are parcels of extremely old vines, and the wines have a natural concentration and silky persistence. Today Louis vinifies and ages his wines in Chambolle Musigny in the same cellar as his other half, Ghislaine Barthod. In fact, it has been said that his influences have helped create the celestial beauties that have risen from her vineyards. Both are ably assisted by their son, Clément. He has been instrumental in Louis Boillot’s recent purchase of vineyards in Beaujolais, Moulin à Vent, where these skilled Burgundians bring their expertise to the Gamay grape.Read less
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
