Gerard Raphet Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champs Chenys Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Unique, 2022 Cote de Nuits, France

Gerard Raphet Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champs Chenys Vieilles Vignes Cuvee Unique, 2022 Cote de Nuits, France

Champs Chenys’ is directly downslope from grand cru Charmes-Chambertin; Raphet’s rows of vines are located in a small “notch” carved into Charmes (that is, vines are surrounded on three sides by grand cru terroir). Vines range from 35 to 110 years old. I opened one of these in the office of Le Pigeon the day the wines arrived and sat dumbfounded at my desk. Dark cherry, pomegranates, iron, damp earth, and baking space. The wine was darker than the previous vintage in the glass, but with a brighter finish. Smile-educing.
