✨ Technical Specifications
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.

Revered for rigorous vineyard stewardship and meticulous sorting at harvest, the estate employs extensive cold pre-fermentation maceration and judicious oak aging to craft wines of remarkable depth, velvety texture, and aromatic purity.
