Domaine Gille Bourgogne Rouge 2022

Domaine Gille is situated in the center of Burgundy’s fabled Côte d’Or, just south of Nuits-St. Georges, in the tiny village of Comblanchien. From this prestigious commune and the surrounding côtes, Mathieu Gille fashions a cornucopia of illustrious, hand crafted red and white Burgundies from just 9 hectares (22 acres), including a delicious 2022 Domaine Gilles Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir, Côte de Nuits Villages, and tiny quantities of superlative Premier Cru Nuits-St. Georges, Morey-Saint Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and Corton Grand Cru. Small lots of high quality wine flow from the Gille family through the cultivation of the vine make “the true savor of the earth intelligible.”

Tasting Notes: The aromatic and quietly seductive 2022 Domaine Gille Côte d’Or Pinot Noir not only highlights Mathieu Gilles’ consummate winemaking skills, it purports to be the highest quality and value in Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Sporting a deep ruby color and beguiling scents of wild strawberry, blackberry, and cassis, we are hard pressed to find a better regional Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Ripe and round in the mouth with succulent fruit, superb texture, and a round spicy finish, the 2022 Domaine Gille Côte d’Or Pinot Noir truly sings from the glass. Ideal with game hens, roast turkey, pork, veal, and beef.
