2005 GEVREY CHAMBERTIN EN CHAMPS GEANTET PANSIOT - 6x150cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, January 2007

  The vines from En Champs are an incredible 103 years old, the oldest of the domaine. Their maturity is definitely perceivable in the wine giving it notable breadth of flavour and length. Medium to full-bodied, it offers lots of sweet berry fruit, roasted spice and meat. Very appealing.

  Background notes of wood spice frame the intensely earthy and rather animale nose of mostly red berry fruit aromas that combine with powerful and exceptionally ripe and rich flavors that explode on the mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is not an elegant wine but the sheer depth of extract is incredibly impressive as is the superb phenolic ripeness and there is a velvety natural sweetness that completely buffers the considerable tannic spine. One to buy. (90-92)/2013+

  Mossy, leafy notes on the nose. Sweet and intense and charming on the front palate but with very good intensity and balance on the palate. Lovely wine. A certain sweetness.

Producer

Domaine Geantet-Pansiot

Taking its name from founders Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot back in 1954, this domaine has grown from 7 to 22 hectares under the direction of their son Vincent Geantet and his children Fabien and Emilie. Having outgrown their historical cellars, they invested in a new winery, and their wines show all the advantages that this additional space provides. Traditionally, they de-stem 100% of their fruit and allow the must a few days of cool maceration prior to fermentation starting, which enhances the colour and aromatic content of their wines. Through a combination of old vines (plenty of centenaries in their vineyards), sumptuous fruit concentration and generous new oak they make a hedonistic style of Burgundy.
