This simple Burgundy from Domaine Geantet-Pansiot is a beautifully crafted wine from a superb limestone-clay terroir. Tasting the wine reveals cherry, vanilla, dried flowers and gingerbread flavours, typical of Burgundy wines. Although the estate has long been in favour of a pre-fermentation cold maceration, it now leans towards a more classical way of making wine by fermenting the grapes, punching down the skins, and then ageing the wine. This provides the colour, tannins and consistency of their Burgundy wines. It results in colourful, powerful wines that are rounded, smooth and usually flavourful. The estate often creates wines meant to be kept as well as wines that should be shared with friends, with nibbles or with grilled meat.
