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
Colour: A beautiful deep garnet-red. Bouquet: The nose is immediate, superb, very pinot, very "classy". Slightly spicy, it expresses original notes of candied oranges or orange liqueur. Flavour: In the mouth, the tasting begins with discretion and finesse. Good acidity provides depth, stimulates the taste buds. The racy, assertive tannins, tamed by long, careful ageing, add to the wine's power and produce a compact, textured wine.
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.
