The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes opens with gorgeous aromatics. Exotic and yet also quite delicate, the 2022 has so much to offer. Kirsch, sweet red cherry, rose petal, blood orange and spice. In many vintages Mes Favorites can be quite powerful, but judging from this barrel sample, the 2022 looks to be on the delicate side. The last of this fruit, from parcels that are as much as 75 years old, did not come in until 10/15, very late by the standards of the year.

More in the clay soils, made from 75 year old vines on average. An intense purple, with heavier raspberry fruit. More backward than Symphonie, with an extra layer of fruit on the bones, also low acidity, so it should be possible to enjoy the 2022 Mes Favorites early. Possible gamey note to finish. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Nov 2023.
