Domaine Tortochot, Gevrey Chambertin Champerrier Vieilles Vignes 2022

Domaine Tortochot’s 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier Vieilles Vignes is a classic expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated villages. Structured, vibrant and distinguished by firm tannins, bright acidity and generous fruit, it captures the depth and character for which Gevrey-Chambertin is renowned. The domaine has been in the Tortochot family for four generations, with roots in Gevrey winemaking stretching back to the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep ruby colour, with an inviting bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, subtle earthy nuances and the restrained savoury character typical of Gevrey-Chambertin. On the palate, it is well structured and compelling, combining concentrated fruit with lively acidity and firm, polished tannins. Its balance and depth suggest that it will reward patience, developing greater complexity and softness with bottle age over the coming years.

Production
Sourced from old vines in the Champerrier climat of Gevrey-Chambertin, the wine reflects the area’s ability to produce Pinot Noir with both power and finesse. The precise harvesting and vinification details for this cuvée are not specified, but the style is firmly traditional: fruit-driven, structured and designed to express its terroir rather than being consumed immediately. Its acidity and tannic framework provide a strong foundation for maturation.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for hearty Burgundy cuisine, including beef bourguignon, roast beef, duck, lamb and game birds. It also pairs beautifully with earthy dishes such as mushroom risotto, coq au vin and mature cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended when opening the wine young, particularly to soften its tannins and allow the aromas to unfold; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted only if necessary to remove sediment.

Producer
Domaine Tortochot is one of the better-known estates in Gevrey-Chambertin and has remained in the Tortochot family for four generations. The family’s winemaking history can be traced to Paul Tortochot, a modest vigneron working in Gevrey during the 19th century. Today, the domaine is led by his great-granddaughter Chantal, a trained oenologist who represents a new generation of Burgundian winemakers. Her approach combines continuity with a clear focus on producing traditional Gevrey-Chambertin marked by ripe fruit, firm tannins, refreshing acidity and a faithful expression of its terroir.
