✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Geantet-Pansiot's Bourgogne 'Pinot Fin' is a tribute to the ancestral heritage of Burgundy. 'Pinot Fin' refers to the ancient, small-berried clone of Pinot Noir that is notoriously difficult to cultivate due to its low yields and delicate nature, yet highly prized for producing wines of exceptional concentration, deep color, and intense aromatics. Sourced from meticulously farmed parcels, the grapes undergo the estate's signature cold pre-fermentation maceration to extract rich fruit flavors and silky tannins. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months and bottled without fining or filtration, resulting in a Bourgogne Rouge of remarkable depth, complexity, and velvety texture that punches far above its regional classification.
🍾 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.
