Gevrey-Chambertin AOC 1er Cru La Perrière 2022 La Pousse d'Or

What kind of wine is it

Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru La Perrière from La Pousse d’Or is a red Burgundy wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. It is produced through a winemaking process focused on preserving the fruit’s natural purity and intensity. The style is precise and balanced, defined by an elegant structure and fine-grained tannins, delivering immediate pleasure and deep aromatic complexity.

Where does it come from

This Premier Cru is born in the renowned Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, in the heart of Burgundy. The vines take root in compact limestone soils with inserts of marl, geological elements that give the wine finesse and tension. The plot is protected by an ancient stone wall, a monastic legacy that ensures an ideal and stable microclimate, perfect for ripening the clusters.

How it is made

The grapes are hand-picked and carefully destemmed. The production process follows strict organic farming practices, aimed at reducing environmental impact and respecting the plants. The ageing phase takes place mainly in old barriques, a deliberate choice to support the wine’s evolution without overpowering the varietal’s identity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shines a luminous ruby red. The aromatic profile unfolds with richness, revealing notes of red and black cherries, wild blueberries, cinnamon, coffee, and cocoa intertwined with intriguing mineral and earthy nuances. On the palate, it is vibrant and develops with continuous progression guided by fine yet assertive tannins, culminating in a persistent finish.

Food pairings

This red pairs beautifully with flavorful first courses and dishes based on white or red meats. It finds a natural match with game dishes thanks to its complex aromatic profile, and shines alongside traditional recipes rich in structured sauces. Its savory character makes it the perfect companion to enhance roasts and braised meats prepared with long cooking times.

When to serve

It’s the perfect choice for special occasions, offering a glass of absolute precision. The interplay between freshness and tannic texture makes it enjoyable immediately, though it possesses the structure for interesting bottle ageing. Serve it throughout a complete meal to fully savour its fascinating and slow evolution in the glass.
