Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois Geantet-Pansiot 1992

The wine

The domain has created a Gevrey-Chambertin that is noble and deep, possessing a great aromatic complexity. On the nose, you will find lovely notes of red and black fruits, berries, gentle spices, and grilled aromas. It deserves a few years of ageing in order for its tannic structure to soften, then it will be ideal to accompany dishes of the same calibre like flavourful meat, roasted or in sauce.

About the Producer Geantet-Pansiot

"Être sobre, c’est boire bon,” or “Being sober is drinking well". This is the estate’s motto, which you’ll find on the label. It perfectly summarises the hedonistic spirit of these wines, full, concentrated, fruity yet delicate and fine. The estate was founded in 1959 following the marriage of Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot in 1954. Vincent Geantet now works in tandem with his son, Fabien. The estate, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, covers 22 hectares of limestone and clay-limestone soils in villages, premier crus, Marsannay, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny appellations. The estate holds a sustainable agriculture label, 100% of the grapes are destemmed and fermentation is exclusively triggered by native yeasts. Ageing is conducted in Burgundy casks.
This estate is a safe bet in the Côte de Nuits. Vincent’s daughter, Émilie Geantet, is currently establishing a wine-trading business under her name, producing more robust wines than those of the estate.
