Domaine HuguenotGevrey-Chambertin Les Crais 2023

About this wine

This Gevrey-Chambertin from Domaine Huguenot is the kind of wine that makes you understand why Burgundy has such a legendary reputation. The 2023 vintage brings a beautiful freshness to this classic appellation, and the Les Crais vineyard delivers all the elegance you'd expect from one of the Côte de Nuits' most celebrated villages.

On the nose, you'll find red cherries and raspberries, with subtle notes of forest floor and a hint of spice. The palate is silky and refined, with fine tannins that give structure without being overpowering. There's a lovely balance between fruit and earthiness, with a finish that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip.

This is a wine that deserves attention. Decant it for at least an hour before serving at around 16-18°C. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, coq au vin, or a selection of aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère. For something more casual, try it with mushroom risotto or beef bourguignon.
