Domaine Guillard Gevrey Chambertin Les Platieres 2019

Domaine Guillard’s Les Platières 2019 is Gevrey-Chambertin with one foot in tradition and the other in a remarkably good vintage.

The warm, dry conditions of 2019 gave Burgundy wines with both concentration and freshness, and that balance comes through beautifully here. Dark cherry, blackberry, and wild raspberry fruit sit alongside notes of violet, spice, forest floor, and a gentle earthy depth that feels unmistakably Gevrey.

There’s plenty of structure beneath the fruit, but it never feels heavy. Fine tannins and bright acidity keep everything focused, giving the wine energy as well as richness. The result is a Burgundy that already drinks beautifully with a little air, while still having the backbone to age gracefully over the coming years.

This is the sort of wine that reminds you why Gevrey-Chambertin has such a loyal following: generous without excess, complex without showing off, and packed with character from start to finish.

A brilliant match for roast duck, game, mushroom dishes, or simply a quiet evening that deserves a serious bottle.
