Louis Pere et Fils, Gevrey Chambertin 2022

100% Pinot noir planted on a mix of clay and limestone in Gevrey Chambertin, from Burgundy Côte de Nuits. The vineyard is located on a mid slop bordering the Premier Crus.

Whole bunch fermentation for a period of 2 weeks and aged 18 months in oak barrel.

Intense aromas of dark berries mixed with liquorice and vanilla. Deep complex and powerful, with finely grained tannins. A long finish with outstanding aromatic expression on a silky texture.

The house’s eponymous founder, Evgueni Louis Max, hailed from Georgia, which many believe is the birthplace of winemaking. He inherited his passion from his father, a wine merchant who had been a soldier in Tsar Alexander I’s army.

In 1859, the young exile established his Maison in Beaune, the heart of Burgundy. Today, its domain spans Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, and Chablis.

After 160 years, Louis Père & Fils continues to blend innovation and tradition to produce extraordinary wines from 3 of the world’s most illustrious terroirs. A sustainable cultivation of the vines, a control of the yields, a manual harvest, and a sorting of the grapes at full maturity.

For white wines, gentle pressing to extract the best juice from each plot, followed by aging in vats or barrels. For the reds, maceration in whole bunches and in vats. Then a traditional vinification and aging in barrels.

Everything is done to extract the delicacy and subtlety of Chardonnay, the finesse and elegance of Pinot Noir. This authentic know-how is the result of a unique experience matured over 6 Generations
