The Allure of Old-Vine Gevrey-Chambertin

It perfectly balances the classic Gevrey structure with a modern, silky texture, making it a favorite among collectors and sommeliers alike.

Tasting Profile & Vineyard Heritage

• Color: A brilliant ruby hue that deepens to a rich carmine over time.
• Nose: Intensely aromatic, featuring layered notes of black cherry, wild raspberry, and mulberry, complemented by elegant floral hints of violet and rose, and a savory undercurrent of earth and spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet elegant, the palate is driven by concentrated old-vine fruit, supported by fine, silky tannins and a vibrant acidity. This V.V. cuvée offers remarkable depth and a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks directly of its limestone-rich terroir.

Pairing & Serving Recommendations

This luxurious Burgundy demands an equally sophisticated dish. Decant for one hour and serve at 60-62°F (16°C) to fully enjoy its aromatic complexity.

• Suggested Pairings: Roasted Duck Breast with Cherry Reduction, Grilled Wagyu Ribeye, Mushroom and Truffle Risotto, Aged Cheeses (Comte or Gruyère).
