From old vines in Les Jouises, this 2020 from Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini feels deeply rooted, shaped as much by patience as by place. The wine opens with dark cherry and black raspberry, followed by a whisper of violets, crushed stone, and that unmistakable Gevrey savoriness that pulls you in slowly rather than all at once. On the palate, there is depth without weight. The fruit feels concentrated but calm, wrapped in a velvety texture that comes from vine age and careful handling rather than excess. Earth, subtle spice, and a faint iron note weave through the wine, giving it structure and quiet intensity. Everything feels aligned, nothing rushed. This is a bottle that rewards attention. Give it air, give it time, and let it unfold alongside a meal that deserves it. Thoughtful, grounded, and quietly compelling, it captures Gevrey-Chambertin in a more reflective mood - confident, composed, and built to linger.
