Tasting
Deep ruby robe with garnet highlights. The nose is intense and concentrated, featuring black fruits (black cherry, blackberry), truffle, undergrowth, and a hint of cocoa. Upon aeration, fine oak and noble spices add further complexity.
On the palate, the wine is impressively dense and precise. The tannins are firm yet polished, the body is generous, and a mineral tension drives the long, persistent finish. A structured and expressive Gevrey-Chambertin, showcasing the contained power of this renowned terroir.
Food pairings
A wine crafted for rich, flavorful dishes: grilled ribeye steak, game in sauce (venison, wild boar), or a classic beef bourguignon. It also pairs beautifully with stuffed pigeon with porcini mushrooms or roast duck with figs.
Recommended cheeses: aged Langres, Soumaintrain, or a truffle-infused Tomme.
