The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Gevrey-Chambertin is a classic Côte de Nuits Burgundy produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by the respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, France. Known for a traditional and structured approach to winemaking, the estate produces wines that emphasise vineyard expression, balance and ageing potential rather than overt extraction or heavy oak influence. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration alongside vibrant natural acidity, resulting in a wine that combines depth with freshness. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside subtle violet, spice and earthy forest-floor notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine but firm tannins and bright acidity that provide structure and persistence. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and subtle cranberry are supported by savoury undertones of dried herbs, liquorice and gentle oak spice developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Gevrey-Chambertin contribute mineral precision and tension, while the estate’s restrained style preserves the purity of fruit and regional character. The texture remains focused and balanced throughout, leading into a long, dry finish with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for customers seeking a structured and authentic Gevrey-Chambertin with classic Côte de Nuits character and strong food-pairing versatility. The 2022 vintage is approachable with decanting while retaining the structure to evolve further over the next 8–12 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or aged hard cheeses.
