Vintage Character Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux 2022 from Domaine Tortochot stands out as a vibrant and nuanced example of Burgundy’s premier cru terroir. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by warm, dry conditions, which led to concentrated fruit, supple tannins, and wines noted for their balance and generosity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine demonstrates both pedigree and finesse. Aromas of wild cherry, raspberry, and violets are complemented by subtle earth and spice tones, while the palate offers layers of juicy red fruit, delicate oak, and a silky texture. The persistent finish reveals savory nuances and refined structure, making it an excellent match for roast lamb, duck breast with cherry sauce, or classic French Comté cheese; for an Asian-inspired pairing, Peking duck is also a fine choice to highlight its complexity.
