The wines from Dominique Gallois are exceptional, and we have another great buy from this small Domaine based in Gevrey-Chambertin at this special pricing today! Gallois is a small producer with only 4 hectares of vines spread across Bourgogne, village, premier cru, and grand cru levels. While the size of the Domaine may be insignificant, the wines here are masterfully made examples from Gevery-Chambertin. Gallois practices a sustainable approach to vineyard management, prioritizing environmental respect. Only in an emergency will they intervene to protect the crop. They also employ leaf thinning and green harvesting to enhance the quality of the grapes further. Fermentation is traditional, utilizing natural yeasts and a maceration period that varies from vintage to vintage, followed by aging in older French oak barrels. The 2020 Gevey Chambertin VV offers an incredible glimpse into the 2020 vintage in Gevrey. It is sourced from 10 different Climats, including En Songe, En Jouise, En Billard, En Dérée, Croix des Champs, Sylvie, La Justice, and Charreux, as well as two additional parcels located directly outside their property. The average age of the vines here is over 50 years, giving this wine incredible depth and fruit concentration. 2020 is a beautiful example among the best of all time from Gallois and comes highly recommended. It is drinking well now and is expected to continue doing so over the next decade. This is an excellent buy in today's market, and after trying a bottle this week, consider it one of the top village wines of the vintage. While this is just a village wine, it drinks like a premier cru quality. A genuinely charming example that does not break the bank!
Burghound 90-92 points! "Coulis-like aromas of black cherry, plum and earth give way to the detailed, concentrated and stony medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate on the impressively persistent and solidly complex finish. This too is very good, particularly for a villages-level wine, and well worth your interest."
