🌟 An expressive and elegant Gevrey-Chambertin from old vines, showing depth, finesse, and classic Côte de Nuits character.

👁 In the Glass:
Bright ruby red with garnet reflections—a true Burgundy hue, transparent yet intense.

👃 On the Nose:
A seductive nose of black cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, lifted by hints of rose petals, forest floor, and a whisper of spice box and fine leather. The influence of old vines adds a beautiful earthy complexity and minerality.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky and refined, yet with remarkable structure. Red and black fruits dominate, joined by clove, truffle, and subtle oak toast. Tannins are finely grained, acidity is vibrant, and the mid-palate has incredible texture and nuance. A long, persistent finish echoes with a savoury, mineral edge.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A natural partner for duck breast with cherry reduction, roast guinea fowl, beef bourguignon, or wild mushroom risotto. Also superb with aged cheeses like Comté or Brillat-Savarin.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already expressive, but this wine will reward cellaring. Drink now with decanting, or cellar for 10–15+ years to watch it develop further complexity, gamey notes, and depth.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Crafted from old vines in one of Burgundy’s most revered villages, this Gevrey-Chambertin delivers both power and poise. It’s a wine that whispers of its ancient soils and noble lineage—a benchmark Pinot Noir with soul.
