Henri Rebourseau Gevrey Chambertin 2018 750 ML

The finesse of the bouquet expresses itself on small red fruits raised by spices in an enchantment of fresh rose and liquorice nuances. A tender and suave palate seduces the palate with its intensity of ripe cherry, bordered by silky tannins giving birth to a lingering finish.\n \n Producer Information\n \n The domaine covers 13.5 hectares in the Côte de Nuits, with exactly 5.28 hectares of that classified as Grand Cru. Theirs is one of the largest holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, and they go back a long way here: Louis’s great-great-grandfather, Henri Rebourseau, created the winegrowers’ syndicate in Chambertin. Louis speaks fondly of his great-great-grandfather’s impact on the domaine from the 1920s to the ’40s: Henri was among the first vignerons of the era to estate-bottle his own wine rather than sell it to négociants. “It was a new idea at the time,” Louis says. “Dealing directly with customers and collectors made the estate very famous.”
