This is the emblematic wine of the domaine, a benchmark Gevrey-Chambertin sourced from a mosaic of eight different parcels planted with exceptionally old vines, averaging 70-80 years of age.

It offers a deep, earth-inflected bouquet of black raspberry, dark currant, poached plum, and black cherries, with savory undertones of grilled meats and raw cocoa. The palate is solidly concentrated and rich, with a sappy core of dark fruit that coats the mouth, all supported by a firm, powerful tannic structure and lovely balancing acidity.

  • Reviews & Scores

    • 92/100 - John Gilman, View From the Cellar: "The vines that go into this superb villages level Vieilles Vignes are now closing in on their ninetieth birthdays... They have done yeoman's work in 2023 and turned out a brilliant wine... On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and sappy at the core and nicely defined by its underlying soil elements, with lovely acids, ripe tannins and impeccable balance on the long, complex and very precise finish. Great juice in the making."

    • 91-93/100 - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "A deep black centre with purple rim. Black raspberry once again. Another degree of intensity and again with fresh acidity to finish. The fruit comes back behind in additional waves. Dark fruit with a redder note alongside."

    • 90-92/100 - Allen Meadows, Burghound: "There is once again good volume and richness to the solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors that coat the mouth on the powerful, lightly austere and firm finale. This is a dense 2023 with lovely balance - one to strongly consider for its level." (Outstanding, Top Value!)
