The 2023 Derey Gevrey-Chambertin is a classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most recognised appellations in France. Produced by Domaine Derey, this wine reflects the structure, depth and savoury complexity associated with Gevrey-Chambertin while maintaining freshness and precision. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine with both approachability 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 fine yet persistent tannins and bright acidity that provide structure and balance throughout. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, clove and gentle oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone-rich soils of Gevrey-Chambertin contribute mineral tension and depth, while the restrained winemaking approach preserves the purity of Pinot Noir fruit and regional character. The finish is long, dry and finely 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 and classic Gevrey-Chambertin with freshness, savoury detail and strong food-pairing versatility. The 2023 vintage is approachable now with decanting while retaining the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes or aged soft cheeses.
