The Aristocrat of Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Crus

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champeaux’ 2023 from Domaine Olivier Guyot is a masterful expression of luxury Pinot Noir from the famed Côte de Nuits. ‘Les Champeaux,’ a Premier Cru site adjacent to the Grand Crus, is known for yielding wines of exceptional elegance, power, and longevity. The 2023 vintage, crafted with sustainable farming methods and aged in French oak (50% new barrels), is a testament to the Guyot family’s profound respect for this clay-limestone terroir.

Tasting Notes & Profile

A wine that commands attention, displaying a bright ruby hue in its youth. Its profile is both immediate and complex:

• Nose: An intense aromatic tapestry of ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, and a hint of violet. As it opens, subtle layers of licorice, spice, and damp earth emerge.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, yet beautifully silky. The tannins are fine-grained and velvety, providing the framework for a long, powerful finish. This is a classic Gevrey-Chambertin with Premier Cru finesse.
• Cellaring: While approachable young after decanting, this wine is built to age, rewarding collectors with enhanced complexity and tertiary notes (game, truffle, leather) over 10 to 15+ years.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly cool at 60-62°F (15-16°C). A decanting of 1-2 hours is recommended in its youth.

• Pairings: Roasted Duck Breast with cherry reduction, Prime Rib, Mushroom and Truffle Risotto, Fine Aged Cheeses.
