Domaine Tortochot, Chambertin 2022

Domaine Tortochot’s Chambertin 2022 is a distinguished Grand Cru Burgundy from Gevrey-Chambertin, expressing the power, depth and elegance for which this legendary appellation is known. With concentrated red-fruit character, savoury complexity and a firm structure, it is a classic choice for collectors seeking a serious Pinot Noir with excellent ageing potential. Chambertin has long been regarded as one of Burgundy’s greatest vineyards—so much so that local wine pioneer Camille Rodier described Gevrey-Chambertin as the place where “great Burgundy” begins.

Tasting Notes
The wine opens with a deep ruby hue and an expressive nose of ripe red fruits, complemented by notes of liquorice and supple leather. On the palate, cherry flavours take centre stage, joined by a warming hint of brandy and a firm framework of tannin and fresh acidity. This is a powerful, traditionally styled Chambertin with the concentration to develop beautifully in bottle. While approachable with sufficient aeration, its substantial structure suggests that patience will be rewarded as the fruit, oak and savoury nuances become more integrated.

Production
Sourced from the celebrated Chambertin terroir in Gevrey-Chambertin on Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects the appellation’s renowned combination of depth, structure and finesse. The precise harvesting methods and vinification details for this vintage are not specified, but the wine is matured for an average of 18 months in new oak barrels, contributing additional texture and complexity while supporting its long-term development.

Food & Serving
Its generous fruit and firm tannins make it a natural partner for rich, savoury dishes such as terrines and pâtés, roasted offal, roast pork, pork in sauce and braised veal. It also pairs particularly well with regional cheeses including Époisses and Langres. Serve at 13–14°C. Decanting is recommended, especially when enjoying the wine in its youth, to allow its aromas to open and its structure to soften.

Producer
Domaine Tortochot is one of the better-known domaines of Gevrey-Chambertin and has remained in the Tortochot family for four generations. The family’s roots in the village can be traced back to the 19th century, when Paul Tortochot worked as a modest vigneron on Place des Marroniers. Today, his great-granddaughter Chantal leads the domaine. A trained oenologist, she represents a new generation of Burgundian winemakers focused on expressing terroir through a traditional style marked by ripe fruit, pronounced tannins and lively acidity.
