Marchand-Tawse, Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois, Vignes de la Famille Tawse, 2022

Aux Etelois is one of the most prized village lieux-dits in Gevrey-Chambertin—bordering Grand Cru vineyards, with deep, well-drained soils that give wines of both structure and elegance. Marchand-Tawse’s “Vignes de la Famille Tawse” bottling emphasizes old-vine material and gentle, precise winemaking that preserves terroir expression.

In the 2022 vintage, this wine is especially open-knit and seductive: black cherry, wild blackberry, baking spice, and forest floor, supported by silky tannins and a mineral backbone. There’s generous fruit up front, but the wine quickly reveals a savory, stony core—a true Gevrey with polish and depth.

Drink now with a decant or hold 5–10 years to see the full complexity emerge. A perfect pairing with roast duck, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
