The Domaine Géantet Pansiot in Burgundy is currently run by Vincent Géantet, who is the third generation of vignerons in his family.

The vineyards are run according to lutte raisonée, with no herbicides, just one or two anti-disease chemical treatments.
The wines are matured in barrel for 15 months, with a couple of stirrings but no racking. 30% new wood is used on every cuvée, from Bourgogne Rouge to this Gevrey-Chambertin.

'A relatively expressive nose of wild red berries, blue berry liqueur and earth undertones that are also reflected by the bigger and notably more robust medium-bodied flavors blessed with ample amounts of extract and an attractive touch of minerality on the seriously long and ever-so-mildly austere finish. A knockout at this level.'

In the Châlonnaise region, just south of the main Côte d’Or, with the same limestone soils, they produce this beautiful Pinot noir from the vineyards of a village called Mercurey.
Wines produced from this appellation can be light and austere, but the best examples have subtle richness and can age very well. La Framboisière is a 11 hectares parcel entirely owned by Faiveley, to the south of the village.

Here they produce the grapes that made this excellent wine.
When you open it you quickly notice that it has a really fruity powerful nose, which mixes greedy red and black fruit aromas and woody notes. But it is on the palate that it shows its full potential, where it is powerful and fleshy with flavours of raspberry and other very ripe red fruits, almost as if we were biting into them. Its structure is powerful, with velvety tannins and a very long and fruity finish.

The wine can be easily paired with fairly aged cheeses and cold meats. You can also successfully pair it with rich poultry casseroles and light game dishes as quail. The bravest will match it with salmon or sea trout … excellent!

Don't miss this great opportunity! Come and get it at the shop or order it here!

Cheers !
