The Henri Rebourseau 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Fonteny 1er Cru is a stunning example of the depth and complexity that this renowned vineyard can produce. Sourced from the Fonteny Premier Cru vineyard, located just below the iconic Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru, this wine embodies the elegance and power of Gevrey-Chambertin's finest terroirs.

The wine greets you with an enticing bouquet of dark cherry, blackberry, and wild strawberry, interwoven with notes of forest floor, delicate violets, and a touch of savory spice. On the palate, it is beautifully structured, with a harmonious balance between the rich, concentrated fruit and a fine, mineral-driven backbone. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine through to a persistent, refined finish with subtle hints of oak and spice.

This 2019 vintage reflects both the character of the vintage and the meticulous craftsmanship of Domaine Henri Rebourseau. It pairs exquisitely with roasted duck, lamb dishes, or mushroom-based cuisine, and promises excellent aging potential for those who can resist its youthful charm.
