Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny Monopole 2023 - Bruno Clair

The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny 2023 from Domaine Bruno Clair is a wine from a historic monopole, located at the foot of the famous Clos de Bèze. This Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru terroir benefits from limestone soils and old Pinot Noir vines, offering a particularly distinguished expression of the village. The 2023 vintage produces a wine that is structured, energetic and has great aromatic depth.

On the nose, this Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru reveals aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberry, blueberry) and wild cherry, with hints of undergrowth, fine pepper and warm stone. The palate is full-bodied but perfectly balanced, with elegant, chiselled tannins, a clear mineral structure and a long, salty and persistent finish. The Bruno Clair spirit is fully evident: precision, mastery of extraction, pure expression of the terroir.

Serve at around 16°C after decanting if enjoyed young. This wine is ideal with matured beef, confit lamb shoulder or a wild mushroom dish. It can be enjoyed today for its brilliance, but its structure will allow it to age gracefully for 10 to 15 years, gaining in velvety texture and aromatic complexity.

A Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru with character and elegance, deep, racy and faithful to the unique identity of Clos du Fonteny Monopole.
