Crafted from some of the oldest parcel selections in the historic village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Geantet-Pansiot's 'Vieilles Vignes' is a masterclass in balancing power with silkiness. The vines, many of which date back over half a century, dig deep into the limestone-rich clay soils, yielding small, highly concentrated berries. Vincent and Fabien Geantet employ a rigorous triple-sorting process and their signature cold pre-fermentation maceration, a technique that coaxes out deep color and vibrant, primary fruit aromas without extracting aggressive tannins. This results in a Gevrey-Chambertin of remarkable density, showcasing the dark cherry, forest floor, and spice notes characteristic of the appellation's legendary terroir, wrapped in a velvety texture that has become the hallmark of the domaine.

Established in 1954 by Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot, Domaine Geantet-Pansiot is a highly regarded family-run estate located in the historic village of Gevrey-Chambertin within Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, France. Today, the domaine is managed by Vincent Geantet and his son Fabien, who meticulously farm approximately 13 hectares of prime vineyards across Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Bourgogne appellations. The estate is celebrated for its rigorous fruit selection and a signature cold pre-fermentation maceration technique, which yields deeply colored, intensely aromatic, and fruit-forward wines. Their portfolio is anchored by exceptional Pinot Noir expressions, including the vibrant Bourgogne Rouge 'Bons Batons', old-vine cuvées, and structured Grand Crus that beautifully balance modern richness with classic Burgundian terroir.
