2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, Heresztyn-Mazzini
Here, a terrific depth of flavour and richness in fruit clearly reflects sourcing from 65-year-old vines. The nose is opened, expressive, with Gevrey’s classic hints of liquorice, sumptuous black fruit and tremendous length on the finish.
About the producer, Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini:
One of the most progressive, terroir-true of all Gevrey-Chambertin growers, and applying biodynamic principles, with partial whole-bunch fermentation. Here are wines of notable perfume, richness, texture and depth of fruit. Here, a generosity in style that is beguilingly countered by a tight-lipped restraint and crunchiness of Gevrey fruit.
