2022 Jerome Chezeaux, Vosne-Romanee

The 2022 Jerome Chezeaux Vosne-Romanée hails from the esteemed Côte de Nuits, where its Pinot Noir grapes thrive in the unique terroir of Vosne-Romanée, renowned for its complex interplay of limestone and clay soils on eastern-facing slopes. The 2022 growing season in Burgundy, characterized by a hot, dry summer that was crucially balanced by abundant winter rains and significant June rainfall, alongside cooler nights, contributed to a vintage of ripe yet remarkably fresh and balanced wines. Producer Jérôme Chezeaux, joined by his daughter Lyse, employs a "lutte raisonnée" approach in the vineyards and a non-interventionist philosophy in the cellar, emphasizing purity and a precise articulation of site and vintage. Through meticulous practices like 100% de-stemming, cold maceration, and modest new oak aging, the domaine ensures that the inherent silkiness and noble acidity of Pinot Noir are elegantly expressed. The resulting 2022 Vosne-Romanée embodies this harmonious balance, offering a compelling representation of its prestigious origin and the producer's commitment to authentic, age-worthy Burgundy.
