2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos des Chézeaux, Domaine des Chézeaux

We used to buy this cuvée when Amélie Berthaut was renting the vineyard, so it’s lovely to still be buying it now, even if we feel Amélie’s pain at losing such a nice parcel. It’s a half hectare, south-east facing, walled monopole plot that sits just below the 1er Cru of Cazetiers, with vines ranging from 40 to 90 years old. This might just be the best village wine I tasted in 2024; it was pretty much faultless. Great concentration, with a lovely sense of textural glycerol, yet light on its feet and full of energy. Seamless, pure and enchanting. An absolute steal. Drink from 2030
