Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2005 Geantet Pansiot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

rom sites just outside Brochon – representing 17 parcels from three hectares whose vines are an average age of 60 – Geantet’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes smells of lightly-cooked raspberry and black cherry with grilled meats. Compact and palpably extract-rich on the palate, it mingles fresh cherry and raspberry with fresh beef blood, carrying into a strong finish with suggestions of chalk dust. The tannins are very fine-grained, and one could expect this outstandingly concentrated if as yet only moderately-complex wine to require 3-5 years before being worth revisiting.
