An exuberantly fresh and ripe nose speaks mostly of dark berries, warm earth and a hint of the sauvage. The supple, round and fleshy yet well-detailed middle weight flavors possess evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the lightly austere, clean...
Geantet-Pansiot, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, is known for crafting powerful, expressive Pinot Noir. Their Bourgogne Rouge is anything but basic — it’s drawn from vineyards just outside top village borders and treated with the same care as their premiers crus: low yields, old vines, and careful élevage.
