Within the discreet craftsmanship of great Pinot Noirs, La Gibryotte Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 2021 embodies a patient, haute-couture expression of its terroir. Following the stylistic direction introduced by Claude Dugat, this cuvée is aimed at enthusiasts seeking purity, uprightness and a chiselled texture that speaks the language of limestones and marls. The 2021 vintage, cooler in profile, produces wines of admirable aromatic precision, tightened by lively acidity that serves the length. Delicate red fruits, floral inflections and a spicy breath compose a bouquet both vibrant and nuanced. The medium-bodied palate progresses on rounded tannins, a velvety touch and an extended finish that evokes the imprint of the soil—subtle yet indelible. Between rigour and grace, this Gevrey 1er Cru cultivates balance, offering at the table a subtle aromatic conversation, never showy, always right.

Assemblage et vinification

Made from 100 % Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, this 1er Cru draws its verticality from limestone and marly soils that give nervosity, freshness and mineral relief. Hand-harvested grapes with meticulous sorting preserve the integrity of the berries. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, with measured extractions to respect the fruit and the finesse of the tannin grain. Aging in French oak barrels, with a moderate proportion of new wood, brings complexity and texture without ever dominating the primary expression. The cooler 2021 vintage emphasises precision and purity, producing a long, sapid wine with excellent drinkability, whose depth will reveal itself after a few years of cellar ageing.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Bright ruby red, clear, crossed by subtle highlights that promise delicate substance and a silky mouthfeel. The shine signals well-held freshness and perfectly controlled extraction.
• Nose : Foreground of red cherry and raspberry, supported by floral notes evoking peony and dried rose. A hint of delicate herbs, a touch of gentle spices and a discreet earthy thread compose a delicately complex bouquet with great aromatic clarity.
• Palate : Straight and precise attack, silky tannins that sculpt a medium-bodied profile. The lively acidity stretches the finish, bringing energy and length. The wine gains depth with aeration, leaving a persistent, harmonious and mouthwatering impression.

Température de service et conseils

Serve between 15 et 16 °C in Burgundy wine glasses to promote aromatic development and the delicacy of the texture. A measured aeration—30 minutes in a carafe depending on the wine’s openness—helps reveal the palette without dulling the freshness. Store bottles away from light, on their side, at a constant temperature. This 1er Cru has good ageing potential that will refine its texture and increase the bouquet’s complexity over the years.

Accords mets et vin

• Starters : poultry pâté en croûte, light game terrine, mushroom cromesquis.
