Sourced from old vines across some of the finest parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Tortochot is a Pinot Noir that combines concentration with elegance. Aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and violet are layered with subtle notes of spice, earth and forest floor, leading into a silky yet structured palate with fine tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish. Expressive and age-worthy, it pairs beautifully with duck, game birds, roast poultry or mushroom dishes.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy – Pinot Noir 2023
A classic old-vine Burgundy: structured, complex and beautifully balanced. Ideal for lovers of traditional Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir.

Domaine Tortochot is one of the quietly great names of Gevrey-Chambertin, a family estate rooted in the village for four generations. Today the domaine is led by Chantal Tortochot, who has elevated its reputation through a clear focus on vineyard health, sensitive winemaking and honest expressions of terroir. Under her stewardship, the estate has been fully converted to organic farming, with certification achieved in recent years, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices and gentle care of the vines.

The domaine’s holdings span some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected lieux-dits and premier cru sites, including cherished parcels of old vines that lend intensity and depth to the wines. In the cellar, Tortochot favours a restrained, traditional approach: careful destemming, fermentation with native yeasts, and thoughtful use of French oak that supports rather than obscures the fruit. The resulting wines are unmistakably Burgundian — pure, structured and terroir-driven — offering a superb balance of power and finesse. Domaine Tortochot stands as a benchmark for those seeking authentic, classically styled Gevrey-Chambertin.

Pinot Noir (100%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered red grape varieties, known for its ability to express site with clarity and finesse. Typically showing red and dark cherry fruit, floral notes and subtle earthiness, it is light to medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Styles range from delicate and aromatic to more structured and concentrated, depending on climate and winemaking approach.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
