Description

Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'La Perriere' 2021This premier cru is located just beneath Mazis Chambertin in the southern tier of Gevrey, a zone which typically provides wines of finesse that are graced by silky tannins. Here, we have a wine frequently marked by red fruits, rather than black; a seductive wine of excellent balance. Production is very limited as the Domaine Harmand Geoffroy owns a mere 3 10 of a hectare; the vines are 50 years of age.

These remarkable Aglianico vines have spent between 150 and 200 years developing their root systems
