GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN  MAISON ALBERT BICHOT  LOCATION  Bourgogne  VARIETAL  Pinot Noir  TERROIR  Calcic and limestone-based brown soil  PRESENTATION  A great appellation in the Côte de Nuits, both for its size and its renown,  Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for the impressive diversity of its terroirs.  White wine is not produced here, only Pinot Noir grapes are grown.  The vines grown in marl-based soil covered with scree and red silt from  the plateau, which lend the wine their elegance and finesse while the  marls that contain a high proportion of fossilized shells and clay, confer  body and firmness.  VINIFICATION/AGEING  Handpicking, sorting of the grapes at the winery.   Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21  days.  Aging in oak barrels (25 to 35% new barrels) for 14 to 16 months.  TASTING  Rich nose combining scents of ripe red and black fruit (strawberry,  raspberry...) with notes of oak and spices, which will evolve over time  toward more animal notes (musk, fur). On the palate, this is a rich, well structured wine with bold, yet classy tannins. The finish boasts lovely  length.  SERVING  Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).  Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.  FOOD PAIRINGS  Roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, game)  Medium to mature cheeses  QUOTES  Wine Spectator: 93/100 (2019)
