Bernard Levet, Chavaroche, 2022

Bernard Levet’s “Chavaroche” is a premier expression from a single lieu‑dit in Côte‑Rôtie’s northern granite‑schist terroir. The 2022 vintage blends Syrah with a touch of Viognier, all hand‑harvested and fermented with native yeasts and partial whole clusters. Aged in neutral demi‑muids, this cuvée reveals refined tannins, red and black fruit clarity, and elegant mineral tension. It showcases Levet’s terroir‑driven focus and the subtle sophistication of his mid‑tier vineyard offerings.
