Domaine Geantet-Pansiot Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Le Poissenot 1996, in magnum, is a Pinot Noir from a stony vineyard located high on the slope of Gevrey-Chambertin. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in new French oak, the wine shows the estate`s preference for concentration and aromatic lift. This bottling presents a bouquet of crushed red berries, violets and a distinct smoky minerality. The larger format has preserved a remarkable level of primary fruit vibrancy, while the tannins have become fully integrated into the lean, energetic palate.

Geantet-Pansiot's 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Le Poissenot was much further along than I would have expected. It paired beautifully with the duck both in terms of its flavors and texture. Exotic notes of orange peel, star anise and spices played off the sweetness and Schezuan pepper in the duck beautifully. It was a wonderful pairing. That said, I can't imagine the Poissenot has too many more equally brilliant days ahead of it. Antonio Galloni1st February 2012
