The 2022 Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin is a finely structured Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most recognised appellations in France’s Côte de Nuits. Produced by Domaine de la Vougeraie, this wine reflects the estate’s biodynamic philosophy and restrained winemaking approach, focusing on vineyard transparency, freshness and long-term balance. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by vibrant acidity and refined tannins, resulting in a wine with both immediate appeal and ageing potential. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, spice and subtle earthy forest-floor notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with polished tannins and bright acidity that provide structure and persistence. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. Whole-bunch fermentation contributes aromatic lift and fine textural detail, while the limestone-rich soils of Gevrey-Chambertin add mineral tension and depth. The finish is long, dry and balanced with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for customers seeking a structured yet elegant Gevrey-Chambertin with freshness, savoury complexity and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2022 vintage is approachable now with decanting while retaining the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or aged soft cheeses.
