Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From a single premier cru parcel planted by Geantet’s grandfather in 1949 in the nose-bleed bleachers of the commune (above Lavaux St.-Jacques and Les Verroilles), the 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Le Poissenot displays a uniquely alkaline, and maritime note in the nose, along with scents of ripe black cherry and roasted game. This presents terrific depth and richness on the palate, offering a veritable butcher shop of carnal delights, including raw beef, salted, smoked pork and long-hung game. Not that fruit is slighted: there is strong, sweetly ripe black cherry throughout, and a malbec-like amalgam of black raspberry, white pepper and cardamom emerges as the wine takes on air. Creamy, rich, sappy, and sleek, this finishes with gum-clinging strength and refinement, invigoratingly saline and brightly black-fruited. A delight already, this distinctively superb Gevrey will no doubt benefit from 5-7 years of cellaring.

• Burghound: A much more elegant and high-toned nose of red and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by mineral and violet hints complement perfectly the precise, mouth coating and nicely powerful flavors that have an interesting saline quality to them, all wrapped in a stony, pure and sappy finish. This is a really lovely combination of power and finesse with a cool and reserved character.

Producer Information

Geantet-Pansiot is a wine producer located in Gevrey-Chambertin, a village in the Côte de Nuits area of Burgundy. It is best known for its Pinot Noir wines from Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, and also makes several wines under the Bourgogne AOC. The estate was founded in 1954 when newlyweds Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot purchased a three-hectare (seven acre) vineyard on the edge of Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, vineyard holdings total 13 hectares (32 acres), mainly through farming contracts. Geantet-Pansiot holdings include, among others, parcels in the Poissenot and Les Feusselottes premier cru vineyards as well as 0.45 hectares (1.1 acres) in the Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. As well as lieu-dit sites such as the Jeunes Rois and Croisettes vineyards, the estate also has access to over 4.5 hectares (11 acres) of basic, Gevrey-Chambertin villages and almost 0.4 hectares (one acre) of Chambolle-Musigny. All of the vineyards are managed by Vincent Geantet who joined the business in 1977 before taking on complete control in 1989. Since 2006, Vincent has co-managed the estate with his son Fabien. Geantet-Pansiot has steadily phased out the use of fertilizers and herbicides in its vineyards. Harvest is done by hand and the bunches are destemmed and rigorously sorted prior to going into tank. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts after an extensive pre-ferment cold-soak and the wines are matured for approximately 14 months in oak barrels, around a third of which are new.
