This Gevrey-Chambertin is medium in body with moderate tannins, fresh acidity and a silky-smooth texture, and it should meet food that matches its elegance rather than overpowering it. The soft tannins and ripe cherry and raspberry fruit make it a friend of poultry and lighter meats, while the notes of forest floor and spices harmonize beautifully with mushrooms and truffle. The acidity cuts through fat without demanding heavy tannins, and as a pinot noir it is also one of the most cheese-friendly red wines, especially with nutty, firm cheeses. Choose gentle preparations such as roasting or braising, so the wine's finesse is given room.

About the wine

The domaine owns 80% of the microscopic 1st Cru 'Au Closeau'.

The plot faces east at an altitude of 280 meters in the southern part of Gevrey-Chambertin, directly opposite the Grand Cru field Mazis-Chambertin.

The grapes from the low-yielding vines, all of which were originally planted in 1943, are hand-picked and the must is aged for 18 months in 40% new oak barrels from Allier and Nivernais with medium roasting to give the wine a restrained and harmonious character.

The color is deep ruby ​​red in the glass. The aroma is complex and deep, filled with notes of dark berries, red fruits, forest floor and mixed spices.

The taste is delightfully fruity with ripe cherry, vanilla and raspberry aromas. Is nicely round and fresh, but still silky soft.

The overall impression is a very charming and successful wine.
