At the pinnacle of Burgundy, the Geantet-Pansiot estate offers an unrivaled array of great wines with inimitable charm. These wines of fullness and body are the work of a master winemaker, Vincent Geantet (and now his son Fabien), whose aim is to extract from his terroirs all the intensity of fruit and density of substance they allow.
