Domaine HuguenotGevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny 2020

About this wine

This premier cru from Gevrey-Chambertin's Les Fontenys vineyard is pure Burgundian elegance in a glass. The 2020 vintage captures everything you want from this legendary terroir, with Domaine Huguenot's careful hand guiding the Pinot Noir to express its truest character.

On the nose, expect vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry notes, layered with subtle earthy undertones and a whisper of forest floor. The palate is silky and refined, showing beautiful tension between bright acidity and delicate tannins. There's a lovely mineral edge that speaks to the limestone-rich soil of Les Fontenys, finishing with lingering notes of rose petals and a touch of spice.

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, grilled lamb chops, or a classic coq au vin. For vegetarian options, try it with mushroom risotto or aged Comté cheese. Decant for at least an hour before serving, and aim for a temperature between 16°C and 18°C to let all those gorgeous flavors shine through.
