Domaine Pierre Gelin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 2018

Domaine Pierre Gelin's Clos Prieur 1er cru was planted in 1964 and shows classic Gevrey-Chambertin typicity with black fruit, structure, and assertiveness. Aromas and flavors of blackberries, black cherries, herbs, and flowers are supported by medium weight and sturdy tannins. The wine was aged in 25% new oak for 20-24 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
