Vins d’Emotion from Gevrey-Chambertin

To simplify your search for emotional wines, I have decided to compile a list of the top emotional producers in each appellation.

Vin d’émotion is quite stable .. I do however adjust from year to year … so … here is the first update in 2025 – Gevrey Chambertin.

Comments to the update

First and foremost I upgraded Domaine Armand Rousseau. About time some will say, and correct – the lesser wines are now also showing high-class.

Domaine Jean-Luc Burguet has been included in the list … and could climb even higher. I really enjoyed these wines in 2023. Vin d`émotion … with a lovely potential.

Hersztyn-Mazzini is leaving the list and will not be visited this often, The sorting in the lower cuvees seems to be an issue sometimes… and this is crucial in the difficult years! The name is also somewhat of a marketing issue – not easy to get the spelling in place to say the least.

The lists

• Vins d’Emotion from Gevrey-Chambertin
• Vins d’Emotion from Chassagne-Montrachet and St. Aubin
• Vins d’Emotion from Puligny-Montrachet
• Vins d’Emotion from Meursault
• Vins d’Emotion from Volnay and Pommard
• Vins d’Emotion from the Côte de Nuits – Off Piste
• Vins d’Emotion from Nuits-Saint-Georges – (New added)
• Vins d’Emotion from Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echezeaux (update)
• Vins d’Emotion from Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot
• Vins d’Emotion from Morey-Saint-Denis

The list contains producers that regularly score an emotional rating, and they are ranked in three levels. I hope this proves useful; here we go!

For what it’s worth

I should note that there are some genuine surprises, as several famous or well-known producers are either not mentioned or mentioned further down the ranks.

Vins d’émotion are, however, usually quite expressive wines, hedonistic and full of energy and joy. These traits sometimes conflict with the style of certain producers whose wines require many years to unfold.

Missing: Please note

I have not tasted the Dugat-Py or Domaine Claude Dugat wines regularly in recent years, hence I do not know how the wines are performing now.
