Domaine Pierre Gelin
The property created in 1925 by Pierre GELIN has been operated by Stéphen GELIN since 1969 and his son Pierre-Emmanuel who takes over, the latter pays particular attention to the cultivation method, reasoned control is applied, the vines are plowed. The fertilizers used, if necessary, are natural (manure from organic farming). In order to obtain grapes of optimal quality and maturity, we carry out a very selective disbudding, and leaf stripping (manual) is practiced.
Description
Aromas of raspberries, sweet soil tones and grilled squab introduce the 2017 Fixin 1er Cru Les Hervelets, a medium to full-bodied, satiny wine with an ample core of fruit, framed by juicy acids and light but chalky tannins and concluding with a savory finish. It's an elegant middle-weight this year, and will drink well young."RP
Food Pairing
Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
