Grape type: The wines from Burgundy, almost without exception, are always made from one type of grape, namely Pinot Noir. Burgundy is divided into two sub-regions, namely the famous northern region of Côte de Nuits, and the equally famous region to the south, namely Côte de Beaune. It is these two areas that firstly made Pinot Noir, and then Burgundy, known all over the world.

Area of ​​production: Burgundy wines are named according to the region, town or small vineyard they come from, and this particular wine comes from the town of Gevrey Chambertin, which is located in northern Bourgonge in the Côte de Nuits area. The vineyards of the Côte de Nuits cover an area of ​​310 hectares, of which 86 are classified as Premier Cru. The grapes used in this wine are only harvested from Premier Cru fields.

Soil conditions: Limestone and clay are the basis of the soil in Gevrey Chambertin.

Colour: Intense deep red colour. Wines from Gevrey are typically darker than most other Burgundies, although the Pinot Noir grape gives a lighter wine than from e.g. grapes used in Bordeaux and Rhône.

Aroma: The complex aroma from the wine is perhaps what characterizes it the most. Aromas like blackcurrant and other berries go in perfect harmony. After a few years in the cellar, notes such as licorice will emerge more.

Taste: Intense, but delicate thanks to the soft tannins. Soft and with good fruit acidity that brings freshness, this is definitely a great example of a Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits at its best!

Temperature: Wines from Burgundy should never be served too hot. If the wine is to be enjoyed young, a serving temperature of 13-14 degrees is recommended, - if the wine is preferred older: 16-17 degrees

Serving suggestion: The wine goes well with lamb, steak, rabbit, chicken and mature cheese.

Storage potential: Gevrey Chambertin always has good storage potential, between 5 and 15 years.
