Understanding Harmand-Geoffroy, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Clos Prieur, Burgundy

Embracing environmentally conscious practices, Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy ensures each vine thrives in balance with nature, resulting in a wine that is a pure expression of Gevrey-Chambertin's terroir. The winemaking process is characterised by gentle extraction methods, including careful destemming, cold-soaking and a preference for native yeasts during fermentation. Ageing in oak barrels, up to two-fifths of which are new, enhances its complexity without overshadowing the intrinsic qualities of the fruit. The Clos Prieur features ripe berry, forest floor hints and spice in a deep palate with well-structured tannins and lively acidity. This Premier Cru has excellent ageing potential.
