Erwann Boivin, the Commercial Director at Domaine Geantet-Pansiot, explains that the Le Poissenot vineyard is a cool site because sits high on the slope just under the forest and in the path of cooling breezes that come down the valley. Boivin thinks the site explains the wine’s elegance and liveliness in a warm vintage like 2023. Its elegance is immediately apparent in the fragrant floral nose. A glorious mixture of dark fruit and minerals bathe the palate. An impeccable and almost paradoxical harmony of cashmere-like plushness along with the grip and structure of Gevrey add excitement. The old vines, planted in 1959, certainly help explain its depth and complexity. As easy as it is to taste – and enjoy – now, I would give it five to ten more years in the cellar.
