Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Poissenot 1er Cru has a deep colour. The bouquet is very typical of the domaine with sumptuous, extroverted red cherries, kirsch and fig jam, attractive in some ways but missing the delineation of some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. There is a lot of volume, though it lacks finesse and sophistication. The finish comes across rather one-dimensional, for a Premier Cru. Tasted at the Domaine Direct Tasting in London.

Compared with other Burgundy wineries, it has a history of more than 50 years, but in half a century, the winery evaluation has jumped to " It is a two-star winery in the French Best Wine Review, and it is also well-known among Taiwanese Burgundy wine fans. It is a modern legend! Burgundy Jayer Brewing Technique In 1989, the winery handed over the baton to his son Vincent Geantet, his best point, It is to thoroughly implement the essence of Henri Jayer's low-temperature foaming skin before fermentation, and brew a wine with "Jayer style, charming and multi-layered fruit aroma". Caviar-like plump Pinot Noir In addition, Vincent Geantet pays the most attention to the integrity of the grapes. Rare, up to four times of grain-by-grain screening, in order to ensure that there are no impurities, the most perfect, plump and healthy grapes entering the wine tank. All wines in the winery use only 30% of new barrels at most, and the extreme restraint style of barrel use can prove his confidence and grasp of grape raw materials!
