2022, Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Anne et Sébastien Bidault

A well structured Gevrey-Chambertin with flavours of red cherry and plum through to a firm, vegetal finish.

About the Winery: Domaine Bidault was established by Sebastien and Anne Bidault in 2008. Born and bred into the world of wine, Sebastien comes from Puligny Montrachet and Anne is from Morey-Saint-Denis. Anne is the daughter of Robert Gibourg with the domaine of that name. Sebastien and Anne produce wines from a small estate in the Côtes de Nuits, which includes tiny plots in Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. They craft good quality, terroir driven wines from old, low yielding vines which are farmed following organic principles.

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir – elegant and age-worthy with red cherry and forest floor, fine spice, silky tannins and a mineral line.

Appearance: Medium ruby core with bright clarity; a subtle garnet rim develops with age.

Aroma: Red cherry, raspberry and plum layered with rose, violet and forest floor; hints of pepper, clove and subtle cedar/vanilla from partial new oak.

Palate: A well structured Gevrey-Chambertin with a good depth of flavour and a firm, savoury finish; fine-grained tannins and a persistent, mineral nuance.

Body: Full - The wine was gently pressed and transferred into barrels, of which one third were new, for 12 to 15 months.

Acidity: Medium+ - lively and mouth-watering, balancing the fruit and structure.

Cellaring Potential: Long (10-20 yrs) - The old vines are low yielding, producing berries full of concentrated flavours. Their deep root systems penetrate the layers of soil imparting complexity to the wine.

Perfect Pairing: Red Meat, Poultry, Cheese

Serving Temperature: 15–16°C for reds
