Palate

The palate is direct on the attack and gradually broadens, carried by fresh fruit and very fine, almost grainless tannins that bring a slightly drying sensation. The wine closes on a long, soft finish, confirming a structured yet balanced profile.

Food and wine pairings

A Structured, Fruit-Driven Gevrey-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy

The Estate

Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy took its current name in 1986, when Gérard Harmand expanded the family vineyard by acquiring the plots of Domaine Vachet-Rousseau, bringing the property to its present size. Located in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, the estate is today run by Philippe Harmand, the fifth generation of the family. It farms about 9 hectares planted entirely with pinot noir, exclusively within the Gevrey-Chambertin commune, and holds the monopole on the La Bossière premier cru.

The Vineyard

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a blend of about ten parcels, located both on the plain and within the village of Gevrey-Chambertin itself. The vines are tended following traditional methods, with no chemical weedkillers or fertilizers, regular ploughing and hoeing to encourage deep rooting, and a reasoned approach to pest control that excludes insecticides and acaricides.

The Vintage

According to Philippe Harmand, 2022 proved to be a particularly rich vintage for the estate. The wines were bottled between February and April 2024.

Winemaking and aging

The Gevrey-Chambertin Village 2022 is aged for 12 to 16 months in oak barrels, with the proportion of new oak ranging from 30 to 50% depending on the quality of the vintage.

Grape Varieties

100% pinot noir.
