Chartron et Trebuchet Gevrey Chambertin 2021

Chartron et Trébuchet Gevrey-Chambertin 2021 is a classic red Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most revered villages, crafted in an elegant and finely etched style. This wine showcases Pinot Noir at its most expressive, combining lifted red fruit, refined structure and the signature earthiness that has made Gevrey-Chambertin a benchmark for collectors and Burgundy lovers. The 2021 vintage, naturally on the fresher, more delicate side, highlights purity and finesse over power, making this a particularly charming and food-friendly expression.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Gevrey-Chambertin shows a bright, translucent ruby hue with garnet highlights around the rim, signalling both youth and classic Burgundian restraint. The nose is precise and aromatic: wild cherries, red currants and ripe raspberries unfold alongside notes of rose petal, dried violet, subtle forest floor, and a delicate hint of spice—think white pepper, clove and a touch of cedar from well-judged oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and poised, with a fine, chalky tannin structure that frames the fruit rather than dominates it. Juicy red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate are layered with savory nuances of undergrowth, dried herbs and a faint touch of smoked tea, all carried by a vibrant, linear acidity that keeps the finish long and graceful. The 2021 vintage drinks beautifully in its youth for those who enjoy freshness and tension, but it also has the balance and structure to evolve over 6–10 years, gaining more complexity, silkiness and tertiary notes with time in the cellar.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected parcels around the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the northern Côte de Nuits, this wine reflects a terroir of limestone-rich clay and well-drained, stony soils that are ideal for Pinot Noir. The cool Burgundian climate and nuanced vineyard exposures help preserve aromatic intensity and freshness, particularly in a vintage like 2021. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure meticulous sorting and to protect the delicate fruit. In the cellar, Chartron et Trébuchet favor a traditional Burgundian approach: gentle destemming (with the possible inclusion of some whole clusters depending on ripeness), a cold soak to enhance color and aroma, followed by a controlled fermentation in vat. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels—often a mix of new and seasoned wood—to integrate tannins and add subtle spice without overshadowing the purity of the fruit or the expression of Gevrey’s terroir.

Food & Serving
This Gevrey-Chambertin is a versatile partner at the table, shining with classic dishes such as roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, veal chops or coq au vin. It pairs beautifully with game birds, mushroom-based dishes (like a wild mushroom risotto or truffle tagliatelle) and refined charcuterie, as well as semi-soft cheeses such as Comté, Morbier or mild washed-rind styles. Serve slightly cool, ideally at 15–16°C (59–61°F), to emphasize its freshness and aromatic lift. Younger bottles will benefit from 30–45 minutes in a decanter to open up the bouquet and soften the tannins, while more mature bottles should be handled gently and decanted only briefly to remove any sediment.

Producer
Chartron et Trébuchet was founded in Burgundy in the mid-1980s by the Chartron family, well-known vignerons from Puligny-Montrachet, together with Laurent Trébuchet, with the ambition of crafting wines that faithfully represent the great terroirs of the region. Initially renowned for their precise, terroir-driven white Burgundies, the house has steadily expanded its expertise into red Burgundy, sourcing from top villages and trusted growers. Their approach combines deep regional knowledge, careful parcel selection and a classic, low-intervention cellar philosophy, earning them a solid reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts and sommeliers. Today, Chartron et Trébuchet is recognized as a reliable source of authentic, characterful wines that offer a true sense of place across many of Burgundy’s most admired appellations, including Gevrey-Chambertin.
