A perfect ambassador for the Côte de Nuits, the Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l’Abeille 2022 from Domaine Ponsot celebrates the subtle harmony of fruit, structure and freshness. Made from Burgundy’s noble grape, Pinot Noir, this Gevrey-Chambertin AOC wine favours an honest expression of the terroir. The house signature is evident in the pursuit of balance, a clear reading of the vintage and a texture that flatters the palate without weighing it down. The colour, deep and luminous, announces a nose vibrant with cherry and raspberry, enhanced by delicate floral notes and a spicy, lightly oaky thread. On the palate, the material moves with grace, the tannins are finely edged, and the finish stretches out with flair, an elegant nod to the French art of living. A wine for the table as much as for contemplation, made for gastronomy, appealing to both the curious enthusiast and the demanding connoisseur.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, this 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin highlights traditional Burgundian winemaking, attentive to the fruit’s rhythm and respectful of natural balances. The carefully selected grapes deliver a clear, readable aromatics, where purity takes precedence over showy power. Extraction is handled gently to preserve the silkiness of the tannins and aromatic precision. Ageing, carried out with restraint, supports the wine without masking it, allowing the identity of the Gevrey terroir to express itself. This approach puts the vintage’s energy and the grape’s upright character front and centre, resulting in a velvety texture, a flavorful definition and a finish that lingers on fine echoes of fruit and soft spices.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Deep red with ruby highlights, clear and bright, a promise of pure fruit and good concentration.
• Nez : A precise bouquet of cherry and raspberry, lifted by floral touches of violet and peony, then a fine spicy and woody thread that adds complexity without dominating.
• Bouche : Soft attack, juicy mid-palate, fine textured tannins, balance between freshness and ripeness. The persistent finish leaves a trail of small red fruits, gentle spice and delicate undergrowth notes.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Gevrey-Chambertin between 16 and 18°C in large glasses to showcase the aromatic breadth and tannin texture. A measured decanting of a few tens of minutes helps the wine open up, round off its youth and shift its aromas toward more complex floral and spicy notes. Store bottles away from light, on their side, in a cellar with stable temperature and humidity. This 2022 has aging potential and will gain in complexity over the years while already offering clear, harmonious pleasure today.
