Our Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Craipillot

The Gevrey-Chambertin Premiers Crus are matured in 40% new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins.
The visual aspect is a beautiful intense garnet colour, with black fruit and light woody vanilla on the nose. On the palate there is the pureness of blackcurrant fruit with some hints of liquorice, resulting in a velvety and harmonious wine that has race.
Serving temperature: 16° to 18°C
Matching food: Miso beef, veined ham, époisses
