Gevrey‑Chambertin “La Justice” 2023 – Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand

This “La Justice” 2023 from Jérôme Galeyrand likely continues the style of the domaine: freshness, clarity of Pinot Noir fruit, with a good balance of structure and elegance. Vintage 2023 in Burgundy was warm, so I infer riper red berry tones, possibly slightly higher alcohol, but in Galeyrand’s hands tempered by vineyard work and low yields.

• Nose: Probably red fruits (cherry, raspberry), light floral notes (violet, rose), perhaps some underbrush or forest floor; spicy touches (fine pepper, perhaps anise or licorice) given the vineyard’s typical profile, plus maybe gentle oak or toast if some barrel work is used.

• Palate: Medium-bodied leaning toward “village plus” richness, fine tannins (silky, polished), good acid to bring freshness; perhaps some earthy or mineral edge; finish likely graceful, persistent, leaning toward elegance rather than power.
