Gevrey Chambertin a Regnard 2023 Louis Billard

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin from Louis Billard is a wine made from a vintage that brought Burgundy a bountiful harvest, following 2021, when the vineyards suffered from frost and the harvest was extremely meager, and 2022, which was affected by intense heat. Thanks to these conditions, the Pinot Noir grapes were able to ripen while retaining good acidity, which perfectly matches Billard's classic, understated style. He sources grapes from plots in Gevrey-Chambertin and produces wine using whole-cluster fermentation and indigenous yeasts. One can expect this to be a Gevrey-Chambertin that emphasizes finesse over power. The 2023 vintage will likely be ready to drink relatively early. It will likely remain at its peak until 2034.
