GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

Tasting notes

Color: Deep colour with ruby reflections.

Nose: Intense evoking blackcurrant and other small red or black fruits, animal notes of musk and fur, and often liquorice when the wine has matured.

Palate: This wine impresses with its firm structure, velvety tannins and delicate texture. It has all the hallmarks of a great Burgundy: full-bodied, powerful, rich and fleshy.

Food and wine pairing

Its velvety tannins make it an interesting wine for game, whether furry or feathered, especially when the wine is more evolved. It also goes marvellously with rib steak and braised lamb. Regarding the cheeses, it goes well with all strong cheeses made from cow's milk.

Serving suggestions

Serve from 15°C to 16°C.
