2022 Arnaud Baillot Gevrey-Chambertin VV, Burgundy

On the nose, you'll find layers of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and plums, with hints of violets, earthy truffle, and a touch of spice. A whisper of oak and a subtle smokiness add depth without overpowering the fruit.

The palate is well-structured, with silky tannins and a fresh acidity that keeps everything in check. Flavors of dark berries and cassis unfold alongside notes of black pepper, forest floor, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and refined, with enough complexity to keep you coming back for more.

Sourced from Gevrey-Chambertin’s limestone-rich soils, the old vines produce fruit with great concentration and depth. Arnaud Baillot’s careful winemaking approach—using indigenous yeasts and aging in French oak—allows the vineyard’s personality to shine through.

This wine is perfect with roasted duck, beef Wellington, or wild mushroom risotto. It also pairs nicely with aged cheeses and charcuterie, making it a great choice for a special dinner. Enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit, or let it develop over the next 10–15 years.
