Gevrey Chambertin Aux Corvées 2022 Domaine Henri Richard

Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Corvées 2022 Domaine Henri Richard

Domaine Henri Richard is a discreet yet deeply respected family domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin, one that has spent generations reading its terroirs with honesty and precision. Farmed organically and biodynamically, the vineyard is tended with rigorous attention, balancing the vine's natural equilibrium and keeping yields measured to produce wines of character, depth, and elegance.

The climat Aux Corvées lies close to the village on the argilo-calcareous soils typical of Gevrey-Chambertin, offering Pinot Noir both structure and refinement. The vines average several decades in age and are harvested at optimal ripeness. Vinification is traditional, with gentle extraction and careful ageing in oak, aimed at preserving fruit purity and terroir legibility.

The 2022 vintage stands out for its ripe maturity and harmony. The nose opens on black cherry, ripe raspberry, and redcurrant, with notes of spice and light smoke. The palate is broad and precise, carried by fine, well-integrated tannins, generous yet balanced matter, and the freshness that extends the finish with elegance.

This Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Corvées 2022 embodies the domaine's style perfectly: a wine of character, both approachable and serious, offering a faithful reading of the appellation without excess power. It can be enjoyed now after light decanting, but will gain complexity over a few years in the cellar, with ageing potential of six to ten years.

At table, it pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled meats, duck breast, farmyard poultry, or gently braised dishes. An authentic and precise village Gevrey-Chambertin for lovers of classical, expressive Burgundy.
