✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as a loving tribute to the estate's founder, Edmond Geantet, who established the domaine in 1954 alongside Bernadette Pansiot, the Gevrey-Chambertin 'Cuvée Edmond' represents the soulful depth of the Côte de Nuits. Sourced from meticulously farmed, exceptionally old Pinot Noir vines, this cuvée captures the essence of the village's legendary clay-limestone soils. Geantet-Pansiot's signature winemaking philosophy shines through here: a strict sorting process followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration that coaxes out an incredibly deep color, intense dark fruit aromatics, and a velvety texture without sacrificing the classic, structured power and earthy complexity of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is a beautiful marriage of modern fruit purity and traditional Burgundian terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine Geantet-Pansiot was founded in 1954 through the marriage of Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot, beginning with a modest three hectares of vines in Gevrey-Chambertin. Vincent Geantet entered the family estate in 1977, followed by his son Fabien in 2006, expanding their footprint across premier Côte de Nuits climats, including Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Marsannay, and the Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin. The vineyards thrive on limestone-clay soils managed strictly under lutte raisonnée, eschewing chemical herbicides and synthetic fertilizers in favor of routine plowing. Viticultural precision extends to harvest, where fruit undergoes meticulous multi-stage sorting down to whole intact berries, termed 'caviar.' Cellar techniques feature complete destemming, an extensive ten-day cold pre-fermentation maceration, indigenous yeast fermentation, and maturation in approximately 30 to 40 percent new French oak without preliminary racking. The house style yields deep, concentrated, and structured Pinots Noir, highlighted by benchmarks like Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Le Poissenot, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, and the distinctive Gevrey-Chambertin En Champ.
