Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Red "Bel Air" 2020 | Wine from Domaine Florent Giboulot

The Domaine Florent Giboulot is deeply rooted in the winemaking history of Burgundy, passing down expertise and passion since 1684. The estate, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, preserves its traditional methods, notably with its 18th-century press still in use.

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Red "Bel Air" 2020 is a perfect expression of Burgundy excellence. From the prestigious Clos Henri Giboulot, this monopoly of the estate offers an exceptional terroir, conducive to producing refined wines. The grapes, hand-harvested, are vinified in whole clusters, with foot treading and pressing in the old estate press. Fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is then aged for 12 to 16 months in old Burgundy barrels, imparting unmatched finesse.

This 2020 vintage stands out with its fresh red fruit aromas, combined with delicate floral notes and a slight minerality. On the palate, the wine reveals a silky structure, supported by elegant tannins and a beautiful length.

• Color: Bright ruby red.
• Nose: Intense, marked by red fruit aromas (cherry, strawberry), complemented by floral and spicy notes.
• Palate: Silky and elegant, with fine tannins and beautiful acidity. The finish is long, marked by slight minerality.

This Gevrey-Chambertin pairs perfectly with game dishes, grilled or roasted red meats, and aged cheeses like Comté or Époisses.
