Gevrey-Chambertin Domaine du Préau

Location

Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the Côte de Nuits’ finest appellations. It stands out for the diversity of its terroirs which produce world renowned Pinot Noir.

Soil The vines thrive in marl covered with scree and red silt from the plateau overlying calcic and brown limestone soil. The exposure is southeast and east.

Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.

Vinification Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled open vats (28/30°C) with regular punching of the cap followed by 12 to 14 months ageing in oak barrels with maximum 15% new oak.

Robe Beautiful ruby red with cherry coloured nuances.

Nose Redolent of ripe red and black berry aromas with a touch of smoke that opens up to toasted notes and hints of forest undergrowth.

Palate Well structured with an impression of sucrosity. The finish evokes delicate flavours of spice (cinnamon) and a hint of liquorice.

Serve with This Gevrey-Chambertin is the ideal match for red meats such as pancetta-wrapped beef tenderloin or braised lamb with 4-spice seasoning. Also goes well with small game such as saddle of rabbit with prunes and snow peas and traditional fine cheeses. When it comes to dessert, this wine may be enjoyed with a cherry clafoutis.

Serve at 14 to 16°C.
