2024, Domaine Henri Magnien, GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, XV

Blend of village Gevrey, Champerrier and 15 lieux dits including his old vines (40-100 years).

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin XV is a blend of fruit from the regular Village plus the Vieilles Vignes and Champerrier, titled "XV" since it comes from 15 parcels. This is very perfumed on the nose: pure red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, light briar and crushed stone scents. The palate is very well balanced with a sensual, silky texture, just the right amount of acidity and superb tension and delineation on the Vosne-like finish. Lovely. 2027-2036.
92 Neal Martin, Vinous.

All but invisible wood influence sets off the earthier mix of both red and dark currant, underbrush and a smoky nuance. There is a bit more volume to the slightly denser flavours that possess a lovely texture on the caressing, youthfully austere and more persistent finale that is just a bit firmer.
88-91 Burghound.

A lighter ruby colour. The nose is a good reading of Gevrey, slightly more in the strawberry side of the divide, lightish but elegant, and will gain in fragrance with time.
