Gevrey Chambertin, Alain Voegeli 2022

The 2022 pulls back on the deepness in colour and richness of fruit in 2020, but it is still a mid ruby to purple in the glass, with a nose that blends red cherries and darker plum fruit. There is, as always, a savoury undertone to this wine, giving lightly cured meat and earthy forest floor notes. This follows on the palate, the fruit prominent on entry but the savoury tones building meaty, earth complexity. There is typical Gevrey grip, bolstering these tones and leaving a sense of place despite the ripe fruit at the core. Drink now, or over the coming decade.
