2022 Henri Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin Vielles Vignes

Appellation: Gevrey Chambertin, Burgundy
Country: France
Vinous Media: 90-92
Burghound Rating: 89-91

An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed, nose freely offers up more elegant aromas where the fruit derives more from the red side of the spectrum. There is again a lovely sense of verve to the detailed and denser flavors that possess slightly better complexity and persistence on the balanced and youthfully austere finale that has the stuffing to repay up to a decade of keeping.  Burghound 89-91

2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from eight parcels from 40 years old to some planted in 1915. Always-one of my favorite cuvées from Magnien, this is more defined and energetic than the regular Gevrey, offering Morello cherries, strawberries and r etals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit, supple in texture. It is not a concentrated evrey but feels very cohesive towards the finish. Give this puppy a couple of years in bottle.  Neal Martin 90-92
