Domaine Tortochot, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 2022

Domaine Tortochot’s 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques captures the distinguished character of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Refined, structured and beautifully expressive, it combines fragrant red fruit with spice, elegant tannins and the depth for which Gevrey-Chambertin is renowned. Often described as the opening movement of Burgundy’s great symphony, Gevrey-Chambertin has long been regarded as one of the Côte de Nuits’ most important wine villages.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a bright cherry-red colour. On the nose, vibrant red fruits mingle with delicate spicy notes, creating an inviting and distinctive aromatic profile. The palate is refined and elegant, with a graceful structure, delicate fullness and polished tannins. A fresh, balanced finish adds poise and persistence. This is a classic, terroir-driven Pinot Noir with the structure to develop further in bottle. While approachable with aeration, it will reward patience over the next several years, with an expected drinking window of approximately 2027–2035, depending on storage conditions and personal preference.

Production
Lavaux St. Jacques is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s renowned Premier Cru climats, known for producing Pinot Noir with both aromatic finesse and firm structure. Domaine Tortochot has deep roots in the village, and the domaine’s traditional approach seeks to express the character of the vineyard through ripe fruit, lively acidity and substantial tannins. The wine is made from Pinot Noir, with the 2022 vintage offering an appealing combination of concentration, freshness and elegance.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C. Decanting for around 30–60 minutes is recommended when enjoying the wine young, allowing its spicy aromas and fine structure to open fully; older bottles are best handled gently and may only need a short period of air. Its refined power makes it an excellent match for roasted or braised meats, richly flavoured poultry, roast duck, game birds and classic Burgundian dishes with mushroom or wine-based sauces.

Producer
Domaine Tortochot is a respected family domaine with four generations of winemaking history in Gevrey-Chambertin. The family’s roots in the village reach back to the 19th century, when Paul Tortochot worked as a modest vigneron at Place des Marroniers. Today, his great-granddaughter Chantal leads the domaine. Trained as an oenologist, she represents a new generation of Burgundian winemakers while preserving the domaine’s strong ties to tradition and its commitment to producing wines that express the character of Gevrey-Chambertin.
