Bourgogne Pinot Fin Geantet-Pansiot 2022

La «cuvée»

This simple Burgundy from Domaine Geantet-Pansiot is a beautifully crafted wine from a superb limestone-clay terroir. Tasting the wine reveals cherry, vanilla, dried flowers and gingerbread flavours, typical of Burgundy wines. Although the estate has long been in favour of a pre-fermentation cold maceration, it now leans towards a more classical way of making wine by fermenting the grapes, punching down the skins, and then ageing the wine. This provides the colour, tannins and consistency of their Burgundy wines. It results in colourful, powerful wines that are rounded, smooth and usually flavourful.
The estate often creates wines meant to be kept as well as wines that should be shared with friends, with nibbles or with grilled meat.

"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.
