FEATURES
The 2022 Domaine Philippe Livera Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Village (Rouge) is a vibrant and polished expression from a vintage that brought "warmth and texture, while preserving energy". Domaine Philippe Livera, a family-owned estate since 1920, is now expertly managed by fourth-generation winemaker Damien Livera, who is recognized as one of the Côte de Nuits' top young talents. The "Clos Village" vineyard, often considered the estate's "baby" Chambertin, boasts mainly 70-75-year-old vines, some planted as early as 1920, and is celebrated for its ability to translate Gevrey's earthy allure.
Tasting notes highlight a wine revealing raspberry, baking spice, and wet stone, framed by an elegant structure and fine tannins. Aromas include pepper, red berries, milk chocolate, and licorice. On the palate, it is plush and deep with ripe tannins and mineral notes on the finish. It bursts with juicy black cherry and red berries, showing impressive energy and brightness thanks to a lively spine of acidity. The wine offers a silky texture with well-integrated tannins, vibrant freshness, and the typical minerality of Gevrey Chambertin's clay-limestone soil, leading to a persistent and captivating finish. It has a pure and taut profile, promising beautiful evolution. 【The estate's "baby" Chambertin from old vines, showcasing Gevrey's earthy allure with exceptional terroir fidelity】.
