Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny Domaine Rebourseau Henri, 2021

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny from Domaine Rebourseau Henri is a refined Burgundy built on Pinot Noir purity, site expression, and elegance. Coming from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s respected premier cru lieux-dits, it offers the kind of depth and precision collectors look for in great Côte de Nuits wines, while reflecting the classic pedigree of the appellation.

Tasting Notes
Typically showing a bright ruby color in youth, this wine is expected to combine finesse with structure. The nose leans toward red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle earthy nuances, with the 2021 vintage often bringing a lifted, fresh aromatic profile and fine mineral detail. On the palate, it is usually medium-bodied and silk-textured, with vibrant acidity, firm but polished tannins, and a savory finish that speaks to its premier cru origin. While approachable in its youth with some decanting, it should also reward cellaring over the next 8–12 years or longer, gaining complexity, forest floor notes, and greater depth.

Production
Fonteny is a premier cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin, where limestone-rich soils and the cool climate of the Côte de Nuits help Pinot Noir develop tension, aromatic precision, and age-worthy structure. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by lower yields and careful vineyard work, making selection in the vineyard especially important. Domaine Rebourseau Henri is known for traditional, terroir-driven winemaking that aims to preserve the character of each parcel through careful harvesting and restrained vinification.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that complement Pinot Noir’s elegance and earthy complexity, such as roast duck, game birds, mushroom risotto, veal, or beef tenderloin. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromatics and texture to open up.
