Domaine Gérard Seguin, Les Crais, Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy, 2023

$76.00

Domaine Gérard Seguin is known for its old-vine holdings around Gevrey-Chambertin, where the family’s steady, hands-on approach emphasizes balance and purity over weight. Their work across these parcels reflects a long familiarity with the village’s soils, and Les Crais is one of the sites where that experience shows most clearly.

Les Crais lies on the eastern side of Gevrey-Chambertin, where stony, well-drained soils give Pinot Noir lift and precision. The 2023 vintage is fragrant and finely shaped, with red cherry, cranberry and gentle spice, along with a subtle floral note. The palate is energetic and deft, guided by lively acidity and smooth tannins that bring the wine to a clean, focused finish. It is an expressive, detailed Gevrey-Chambertin that captures the village’s clarity in a more approachable frame.

Appellation: Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crais, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
