Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes, Geantet-Pansiot, 2019

Fabien and Vincent Geantet make superb and unjustly overlooked wines: they taste extremely well young and have a great capacity to age. A new cuverie has enabled them to become more flexible in their winemaking and maturation, resulting in wines that reflect their origins more precisely. Bottling used to be very early, as they needed the space in the cellar; now the wines are given more time in cask.
"This is also notably ripe with slightly more elegant liqueur-like fruit that derives mostly from the dark side of the fruit spectrum along with more evident spice and less earth elements. There is both good minerality and energy to the utterly delicious medium weight flavors that possess a more refined mid-palate thanks primarily to the fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a mildly austere and lingering finish that is already exhibiting very good complexity. This is a quality Chambolle villages." 89-91 pts, Allen Meadows' Burghound
