2022 Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent, Santenay, 1er Cru Gravières ROUGE

The 2022 Santenay 1er Cru Gravières Rouge is a prodigious wine in the making, and Vincent has decided to prolong its élevage in barrel to give it the time it needs to realize all its potential. Unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of wild plums, peonies, orange zest, spices and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and structured, with a concentrated core of fruit built around lively acids and sweet but abundant tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish. This 2022 is on a similar level to its 2020 counterpart but will likely require more patience.
93-95 points. William Kelley.
