Among the emblematic cuvées of the Côte de Nuits village, the Gevrey-Chambertin 2024, Domaine Geantet-Pansiot embodies a very French idea of elegance, where depth never gives way to exuberance. Sourced from very old vines whose roots dive into the mineral memory of the terroir, this Gevrey unfurls with disarming clarity. The 2024 vintage, well-balanced, offers a framework that marries aromatic intensity with sustaining freshness. At the heart of this composition, the estate signs a red that is both precise and caressing, built on vibrant fruit, polished tannins and a subtly sapid length. Carefully aged, respecting the nature of the wine rather than forcing it, it is destined for tables where culinary gestures are matched to the grace of a great Pinot Noir, but also for patient cellars that understand the nobility of time.

Assemblage et vinification

This red wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir from the Gevrey-Chambertin AOC, coming from old vines that give the material natural concentration and a muted complexity. The harvest is handled gently to preserve the integrity of the berries and the expressiveness of the fruit. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts, guaranteeing a sincere aromatic identity and a more nuanced texture. Extraction is measured to favour the finesse of the tannins and the transparency of the terroir. The ageing, carried out over 14 months, uses about 30% new oak, bringing discreet support, fine spice and a silky architecture without ever dominating the wine. No superfluous intervention alters the material, without racking, unfined and unfiltered at bottling, in order to preserve the breadth and purity of the sap. The result, faithful to the spirit of Domaine Geantet-Pansiot, combines uprightness, generosity and energy, in a chiselled style that aims for precision rather than demonstrative power.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Deep ruby with bright highlights, clear and elongated, betraying a beautiful density without heaviness. The material clings to the glass with elegance, promising a controlled textural relief.
• Nose : Initially floral, evoking peony and violet, then carried by a precise fruit—morello cherry and raspberry—with hints of fine spices, a touch of liquorice and a mineral breath. The whole opens up with nobility, gaining complexity over minutes.
• Palate : A direct, silky attack, a juicy mid-palate where crisp fruit meets very fine tannins. Freshness shapes the structure; the finish stretches out long, floral and gently spiced, with a subtle salinity that invites the next sip.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 15 to 16°C in large glasses suited to Pinot Noir to open the aromatic range and accompany the satin of the tannins. Aeration of 30 to 60 minutes can enhance the fruit expression and smooth the ageing oak, without ever startling the texture. Store bottles on their side, away from light, in a cool cellar with stable humidity. This Gevrey-Chambertin reveals a significant ageing potential, allowing the floral and fruit notes to evolve towards more earthy and spicy nuances while gaining in textural complexity. Patience here will be rewarded by greater harmony and added depth.

Accords mets et vin

• Refined aperitifs : poultry pâté en croûte, duck rillettes, fine local charcuterie served with lightly toasted country bread.
• Starters : œuf meurette with a Pinot Noir reduction, forest tart, thin mushroom tart, mildly spiced game terrine.
• Main courses : roasted free-range poultry, pink veal cut, lacquered duckling, confit beef chuck, short jus lifted with fresh herbs.
• Cheeses : aged Comté, Jura tomme, lightly matured Brillat-Savarin, where the grace of Pinot Noir respects the milky delicacy.
