Domaine Confuron-Gindre - Gevrey Chambertin 2023

This Gevrey-Chambertin has a huge wealth of red fruit behind it.

Domaine Confuron-Gindre was established six generations ago in Vosne-Romanée and is located on Rue de La Tâche. A great sign! Though they don't own the monopole of La Tâche (Domaine Romanée-Conti does), François Confuron-Gindre owns a myriad of ideally located vineyards in Vosne-Romanée and a smattering in Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The Domaine accounts for 11 hectares, with five village wines, across the aforementioned villages; four Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée; and the one Grand Cru from Échezeaux. A blessing, considering Vosne-Romanée is the Holy Grail for Pinot Noir lovers. The Domaine has been under the radar for quite some time, but since Edouard, Francois's son, is gradually taking over, the word is now out.

Made from Crais, Champ Chenys, Seuvrées. A concentrated lively purple colour, with again some reduction. The palate offers a very pure and fairly concentrated sweet red berry fruit, with nicely judged tannins and very good length. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024. 90-92 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
