Jean Bouchard Gevrey Chambertin
£51.25
Jean Bouchard is a Burgundy house with a long standing history. The philosophy of the House of Jean Bouchard rests on four strong values: the family, the quality, the durability and sharing.
A great Côte de Nuits appellation in terms of both surface area and fame, Gevrey-Chambertin is unique for the diversity of its terroirs, which are planted exclusively with Pinot Noir. The vines benefit from scree-covered marl and red silt-based topsoil from the plateau that overlies brown limestone calcic soil.
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled open vats (28/30°C) with regular punching of the cap followed by 12 to 14 months ageing in oak barrels with at most 15% new oak.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red colour. Predominantly fruit aromas of black cherry and plums, with spice and musk overtones. A harmonious, generous wine with delicate fruit flavours that finish on a more mineral note, with pepper and cinnamon spice.
Food Matching
Try this Gevrey-Chambertin with choice cuts of beef such as tenderloin or braised shoulder roast as well as with small game such as saddle of rabbit studded with bacon.
