Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2020
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes from Philippe Charlopin showcases the depth and complexity that old vines can bring to this prestigious appellation. The wine presents with an impressive deep ruby color, hinting at its concentration and intensity.
The nose is immediately captivating, offering a sensual and complex array of aromas. Ripe strawberries and black currants dominate the fruit profile, while stone fruit notes and spice accents add layers of sophistication. This aromatic complexity speaks to both the maturity of the old vines and Charlopin's thoughtful winemaking approach.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive power and opulence while maintaining elegance. The texture is particularly noteworthy - voluminous yet silky, with refined tannins that provide structure without aggression. This beautiful balance, combined with its concentrated core of fruit, suggests excellent aging potential, with the wine likely evolving gracefully over the next decade.
