2023 Domaine Tortochot, Gevrey-Chambertin "Vielles Vignes," Burgundy - 750ML

Domaine Tortochot is a long-established Gevrey-Chambertin estate, producing classically framed Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most respected village appellations. The domaine’s own vintage notes describe 2023 as a well-balanced, approachable year with wines that can be enjoyed in their youth while still offering aging potential; Sarah Marsh’s 2023 Burgundy report also characterizes the estate’s wines as forward, expressive, and accessible young.

Blend:
100% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of red cherry, red currant, wild strawberry, warm earth, and subtle spice are layered with hints of rose petal, forest floor, and gentle oak. The palate is supple and accessible, showing ripe red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a savory mineral edge that reflects Gevrey-Chambertin’s more structured Côte de Nuits character without feeling austere.

Structure:
Medium-bodied, expressive, and approachable; a forward Gevrey-Chambertin with polished tannins and moderate cellar potential.

Drink Window:
2026–2033

Decanting:
For youthful drinking, decant for 30–45 minutes to soften the tannins and allow the red-fruited and earthy aromatics to open. With additional bottle age, a short 15–20 minute decant or slow aeration in a Burgundy glass should be sufficient.

This is a polished and accessible expression of Gevrey-Chambertin, well suited for Burgundy buyers seeking village-level Côte de Nuits character with early appeal. It would pair beautifully with roast duck, mushroom risotto, herb-crusted lamb, or a refined dinner centered around earthy, savory flavors.
