Pierre Bourée Gevrey-Chambertin

Pierre Bourée Gevrey-Chambertin

Burgundy - France - 2016

12.5% ABV

Classic Gevrey-Chambertin, 'The King of Burgundy'. 

Tasting notes

Delicate sweet strawberry fruit, fresh acidity and a clean, vibrant palate. A restrained style, with elegance and a savoury, autumnal finish.

Food match

Traditionally matched with game, fine red Burgundy works extremely well with strongly flavoured dishes including mushrooms, cheese, duck and liver.

Production

Regular ploughing, limited fertilising as well as minimal pruning is used to reduce both vigour and yield. The grapes are hand picked and transported to the winery in small containers. Hand sorting is followed by wooden vat maceration and fermentation, with regular pigeage before pressing and followed by oak barrel maturation.
