Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was warm and sunny, with well‑timed rains that preserved freshness and balance. This produced wines of ripe fruit, supple tannins, and excellent aromatic clarity, qualities that shine in Patrick Maroiller’s Gevrey‑Chambertin. The fruit comes from old vines (around 50 years old), hand‑harvested and carefully sorted to ensure terroir expression.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, the wine shows a deep garnet color and an aromatic bouquet of ripe strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, accented by spice and subtle oak. On the palate, it is powerful yet elegant, with firm but polished tannins, expressive fruit, and a long, persistent finish. Its structure and depth make it a versatile partner for braised beef bourguignon, roast duck with herbs, or aged Comté cheese, dishes that highlight both its richness and freshness.
Winery Background Patrick Maroiller, who began his career in the 1980s, founded his own domaine in 2012 after decades of vineyard work.
Today, the estate is run as Patrick Maroiller & Fils, with his son Stéphane continuing the family tradition. Based in Gevrey‑Chambertin, the domaine is committed to organic farming, avoiding chemical treatments and following lunar cycles in vineyard work. In the cellar, the philosophy is minimalist: no added yeasts, minimal sulfites, no unnecessary filtration, and élevage in oak barrels (about 50% new) for 12 months. This artisanal approach yields wines that are authentic, terroir‑driven, and built for longevity. The 2022 Gevrey‑Chambertin stands out for its combination of concentration, purity, and aging potential, embodying both the power of Gevrey and the finesse of Maroiller’s style.
