Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows the dark, polished character typical of Gevrey-Chambertin, with an aristocratic sense of depth and poise. The nose is classic and expressive, opening with ripe cherry, licorice, and subtle noble leather nuances. On the palate it is broad, powerful, and densely layered, yet handled with remarkable finesse. Firm, polished tannins give the wine its backbone, while the overall balance suggests excellent aging potential and a rewarding evolution over many years.

Production
Gevrey-Chambertin sits in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, where limestone and marl soils help shape Pinot Noir with structure, concentration, and aromatic complexity. Fonteny is a Premier Cru site known for producing wines with impressive depth and a refined, classical profile. In a vintage like 2021, careful vineyard selection and attentive cellar work are essential to preserving purity, precision, and balance.

Food & Serving
