Description
What kind of wine it is
Pierre André's Gevrey-Chambertin is a still red wine that expresses the authentic character of Burgundy. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, it displays a deep ruby colour that shades towards dark garnet. The bouquet is complex, revealing notes of ripe fruit, blackberry and blueberry, intertwined with hints of pepper and liquorice. On the palate, it shows a velvety texture, supported by dense tannins that provide an elegant structure. The tasting offers a concentrated flavour of dark fruits and cocoa, finishing with a persistent finish, ideal for enhancing red meats and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This red originates in the heart of Burgundy, within the prestigious Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. It is the result of the work of Pierre André, a historic estate founded in Beaune at the beginning of the twentieth century and, over time, the custodian of Château de Corton. The vineyards cultivated in these lands allow Pinot Noir to express itself with depth, absorbing all the nuances of the Burgundian terroir. The winery's approach ensures a wine with strong aromatic concentration and a solid structure. Its remarkable ageing potential allows it to evolve for over twenty-five years, maintaining its elegant profile intact.
How it is produced
The process enhances the Pinot Noir through a careful maturation journey. Ageing takes place in French oak barrels, integrating harmonious toasted sensations, chocolate accents and hints of cinnamon, without ever overpowering the fruit's identity. This technique balances the natural acidity with a smooth taste. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving at a temperature between 18 and 20°C. Thanks to this meticulous care, the wine becomes the perfect accompaniment for game and pork-based dishes, enriching the most significant occasions with technical precision.
