What kind of wine is it

The 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 vinification process designed to preserve the natural purity and intensity of the fruit. The style is precise and balanced, characterized by an elegant structure and fine-grained tannins, offering 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 sink their roots into compact limestone soils with veins of marl, geological elements that impart finesse and tension to the wine. The plot is protected by an ancient stone wall, a monastic legacy ensuring an ideal and stable microclimate, perfect for ripening the grapes.

How is it produced

The grape harvest is carried out entirely by hand, followed by careful destemming. The production process strictly follows practices aimed at reducing environmental impact and respecting the vines. The aging phase mainly takes place in old barriques, a choice that supports the evolution of the wine without ever overpowering the grape’s character.

Tasting notes

Its aromatic profile unfolds a rich array, featuring notes of red and black cherries, wild blueberries, cinnamon, coffee, and cocoa, highlighted by intriguing mineral and earthy nuances. On the palate it is vibrant and develops with a continuous progression led by fine yet assertive tannins, culminating in a long finish.

Pairings

This red wine 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 excels alongside traditional recipes rich in hearty sauces. Its savoury character makes it the ideal choice to enhance roasts and braised meats slow-cooked to perfection.

When to serve

It represents the perfect choice for special occasions, offering a glass of absolute precision. The interplay between freshness and tannic structure makes it enjoyable right away, though it has the body for an interesting bottle aging. Serve it during a complete meal to fully enjoy its slow and fascinating evolution in the glass.
