Jean-Luc & Eric Burguet Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes 2023 is made from old-vine Pinot Noir grown across several parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin and Brochon, with vines averaging around 75 years of age.

Ripe cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry are joined by violet, subtle spice, licorice and earthy mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied but concentrated, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and a long, savory finish.

The wine is fully destemmed and fermented naturally before aging in Burgundy barrels. A measured proportion of new oak adds texture and spice without taking attention away from the fruit or the character of Gevrey-Chambertin.

I like the combination of generosity and structure in Mes Favorites. There is more depth and concentration than in a lighter village Burgundy, but the wine still retains freshness, fine tannins and the aromatic character that makes Pinot Noir so compelling. The 2023 is already expressive, although the old vines and structure give it excellent potential to develop further in bottle.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, beef tenderloin, game birds, veal, mushroom dishes, truffle preparations, or soft and semi-aged cheeses.

Serve around 58–62°F. If drinking young, allow approximately 30 minutes in a decanter or large Burgundy glass.
