Description
The Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Jeunes Rois” 2023 from Domaine Pernot Père et Fils is a characterful Pinot Noir from a single parcel of vines over 80 years old. The old vines and stony subsoil give the wine a special combination of depth, finesse, and mineral tension.
In the glass, Les Jeunes Rois presents elegantly and with complexity. Cherries, raspberries, and dark forest berries form the fruity core, accompanied by floral notes, fine spice, and subtle earthy hints. The long aging in oak barrels provides additional structure and depth without overshadowing the clear fruit.
On the palate, the Pinot Noir appears concentrated yet finely etched. Juicy fruit meets precise tannins and a lively freshness. A mineral, subtly spicy vein runs through the wine, providing tension all the way to the long finish. An elegant and profound Gevrey-Chambertin that already shows its quality young but would particularly benefit from further bottle aging.
