Based in the prestigious village of Gevrey Chambertin in Burgundy’s Cte de Nuits, Domaine Harmand Geoffroy has been a family-run operation for generations, dedicated to traditional viticulture and authentic expressions of terroir. Among their Premier Cru holdings, ‘La Perriere’ is a particularly distinctive site, known for its shallow, stony soils and excellent drainage, which contribute to wines of precision and minerality.
Wine Description
The 2019 ‘La Perriere’ Premier Cru presents a vibrant ruby colour with an aromatic profile of wild raspberries, red cherries, and cranberries, accented by hints of violets, fresh thyme, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, offering a lively core of red fruit, subtle earthiness, and chalky minerality. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, while a bright acidity lends freshness and drive, leading to an elegant, lingering finish. Composed entirely of Pinot Noir, this cuve is approachable in its youth but will develop gracefully over the next 1015 years, with optimal drinking from 2025 to 2037.
