Domaine Tortochot, now managed by Chantal Tortochot, has embraced fully organic practices across its 12 hectares of vineyards. Chantal has modernized the estate, incorporating up to 25% whole bunch fermentation. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy experienced April frosts and summer heatwaves, leading to reduced yields but resulting in concentrated, structured wines with excellent aging potential. Gevrey-Chambertin is renowned for its deep fruit aromas, robust structure, and exceptional ability to age. This "Vieilles Vignes" (Old Vines) cuvée, sourced from the estate's mature vines, benefits from deep root systems that ensure consistent ripening and contribute to a more concentrated and complex flavor profile. On the nose, this wine offers aromas of raspberry and earthy tea notes. The palate is quite robust with dark cherry, spice, and fine tannins. Other descriptors include wild strawberry, blackberry, violet, herbal vanilla, licorice, and tanned leather, evolving into a mature palate with a touch of game and garrigue, supported by soft tannins and balanced acidity. Red fruit notes like strawberry, cherry, and raspberry are frequently mentioned in community reviews. 🍴 The inherent power of Gevrey-Chambertin makes it an excellent match for red meats. Consider pairing it with roast rabbit à la royale, saddle of venison with a rich reduction sauce, or a hearty beef bourguignon with mushrooms. It also complements ripe Époisses cheese beautifully. 🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a gathering of discerning wine enthusiasts, or for cellaring to allow its impressive aging potential to unfold. 【Organic certified estate producing concentrated, age-worthy wines from old vines in a powerful appellation】.
