Côtes et Climats - Pierre Mayeul - Gevrey-Chambertin - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

Originating from a plot in the lower part of the village, the 2020 Red Gevrey-Chambertin is once again one of the standout successes of the vintage. Its intense notes of black fruits, raspberry, licorice, and violet are enhanced by a touch of spices and well-integrated oak, which frames the wine with nobility and allows the fruit to express its pinot character perfectly. Freshness and minerality are also present, supporting the texture of this complex wine, with powerful tannins, a long and refreshing persistence. It's a magnificent expression of both the terroir and the vintage.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, totally destemmed, vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats.
Aged in oak barrels for 18 months for 30% of the harvest.

Dark ruby red, intense and brilliant.

Nose:

Complex aromatics highlighted by notes of black fruit and raspberry, violet and licorice.

Palate:
