Product details
Joseph Drouhin, a venerable family-owned winery established in 1880, has long been synonymous with excellence in Burgundy winemaking. Their 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin exemplifies this legacy, offering a wine of remarkable depth and character. The 2021 vintage, marked by challenging conditions, resulted in one of Burgundy's smallest harvests, yielding reds that are harmonious and elegant, with lower alcohol concentrations compared to previous years.
This Gevrey-Chambertin displays a bright ruby hue, with an intensely fruity nose reminiscent of black cherry, wild blackberry, and liquorice. Subtle woody notes integrate seamlessly, evolving into complex aromas of mild spice, nutmeg, and leather as the wine matures. On the palate, the tannins are present yet harmoniously blend with the wine's natural freshness and velvety texture, leading to a lingering finish that echoes the initial aromatic impressions. This wine pairs excellently with red meats—whether roasted or in sauces—game dishes, and aged cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its refined character.
