PRESENTATION
A great appellation in the Côte de Nuits, both for its size and its renown,
Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for the impressive diversity of its terroirs.
White wine is not produced here, only Pinot Noir grapes are grown.
The vines grown in marl-based soil covered with scree and red silt from
the plateau, which lend the wine their elegance and finesse while the
marls that contain a high proportion of fossilized shells and clay, confer
body and firmness.
VINIFICATION/AGEING
Handpicking, sorting of the grapes at the winery.
Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21
days.
Aging in oak barrels (25 to 35% new barrels) for 14 to 16 months.
TASTING
Rich nose combining scents of ripe red and black fruit (strawberry,
raspberry...) with notes of oak and spices, which will evolve over time
toward more animal notes (musk, fur). On the palate, this is a rich, well
structured wine with bold, yet classy tannins. The finish boasts lovely
length.
SERVING
Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).
Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, game)
