Adorned with natural elegance, the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot 2017 from Domaine Geantet-Pansiot offers a subtle reading of the Côte de Nuits. From a high-altitude climat overlooking the village, this wine combines the energy of limestone soils with the concentration so typical of Gevrey. The 2017 vintage, straight and harmonious, produced a very precise Pinot Noir where pure fruit meets a fine tannic framework and perfectly controlled freshness. Beyond technique, it expresses a terroir-driven emotion, a mineral whisper that accompanies aromatic depth. Whether you are an informed enthusiast seeking a characterful 1er Cru, a collector looking for an already accessible vintage, or a host wishing to brighten a dinner with a bottle both delicate and vibrant, you will find a wine here that converses with the table as much as it dialogues with time.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Pinot Noir of the 2017 harvest, this 1er Cru comes from the climat Le Poissenot on the slopes of Gevrey-Chambertin. Rigorous grape selection, measured extraction and patiently managed élevage at the domaine all serve to preserve the fruit's brightness and the terroir's definition. The Geantet-Pansiot signature favors expressiveness, balance and aromatic clarity, offering a wine of great composure, capable of evolving gracefully while delivering immediate pleasure. The aim is not to show off but to achieve harmony: contained density, integrated oak serving the wine, and a tactile precision that evokes silk rather than velvet, uprightness rather than opulence.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance: Deep ruby with garnet highlights, clear, edged with a delicate sheen announcing composed, precise matter.
• Nose: A finely chiseled bouquet of red and black fruits, infusion of rose petals, black tea and a touch of fine spice. A floral, airy dimension answers a subtle liquorice depth, recalling the classicism of the Côte de Nuits.
• Palate: Broad, fresh attack, elegant tannic frame, fine grain and sapid drive. The fruit unfolds with precision, supported by a straight acidity, before an extended, balanced finish of great purity.

Température de service et conseils

Serve at cellar temperature in large Burgundy glasses to enhance the nobility of the bouquet and the delicacy of the texture. Depending on its evolution, an early opening or a light decant will allow the wine to reveal its floral inflections and fruit brightness. Store the bottle quietly, protected from light and fluctuations to preserve its aromatic integrity. Its cellaring potential spans an elegant decade, with an optimal window estimated between 2020 and 2030, evolving toward greater spicy complexity and more integrated textures.
