Deal of the Day - 2021 Domaine Tortochot Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier VV - “Worth Seeking Out”

Domaine Tortochot, Gevrey Chambertin

Created in 1865, this quintessential Gevrey domaine is today led by fourth generation Chantal Michel Tortochot.  Since taking the helm, she has focused on converting the vineyards to organic certification, and all 12ha are now ECO certified. A large portion of the domaine is comprised of old vines planted by grandfather.  For the last 20 years, Sylvain Pataille has been the consultant winemaker.  They produce traditionalist wines with pure fruit and transparency of place, with today's wine being a classic example of their style.

"A very pretty and ultra-fresh nose is comprised by its aromas of the essence of wild red berries, forest floor and a prominent dollop of herbal tea component. The heightened freshness continues onto the solidly dense medium-bodied flavors that also exude evident minerality on the attractively textured, balanced and lingering finale. I like this but I would point out that the herbal tea character displayed by the nose isn't subtle and may be more than some readers prefer." - Allen Meadows

"The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier Vieilles Vignes ler Cru has another quite "airy" but well-defined nose: red cherries and crushed strawberry, touches of crushed stone and gravel. The palate is well balanced with fine-boned tannins - what I appreciate here is the tension and edge towards the finish. Worth seeking out." - Neal Martin
