2018 Pierre Mayeul, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru “Petite Chapelle”

Description

ABOUT THE PRODUCER. Pierre Mayeul is the story of three old friends united by the same passion for Burgundy and with a shared goal to produce high-quality wines where each cuvee beautifully represents the individual terroir and ‘climat' of each appellation. Each with a long history of Burgundian winemaking they vinify their wines in an old castle in Ladoix and age the wines in barrels in cellars that date back to the 17th Century situated in the very heart of Beaune.. TASTING NOTES. Spends 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels adding beautiful complexity. Dark cherry colour with concentrated fruit on the nose, revealing blackberry, violet, hazelnut and nutmeg. The onset on the mouth carries fleshy and supple tannins, followed by a crunchy and bold palate, finishing off on silky smooth persistent fruit.. FOOD PAIRING. Deserves a robust meat dish such as game, prime rib or lamb.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. Will develop beautifully in the bottle for another 10 years.. Discover all the wines from Pierre Mayeul
