Gevrey Chambertin Aux Corvees 2022
Intro: The 2022 Aux Corvées is a village level Burgundy Pinot Noir from Domaine Henri Richard. It offers a medium bodied, elegant red with bright red fruits, fine grained tannins, and fresh acidity. A wine that shows purity of fruit and terroir, approachable now but with the structure for moderate cellaring. “Aux Corvées” translates to “the labor/duties field”, referencing the days when peasants worked under feudal obligations. A little historical echo in each bottle. Henri Richard farms the vineyards following lunar cycles and natural preparations, a spiritual/agricultural practice that promotes vine and soil vitality.
