Henri Rebourseau Gevrey Chambertin 2018 750 ML

The finesse of the bouquet expresses itself on small red fruits raised by spices in an enchantment of fresh rose and liquorice nuances. A tender and suave palate seduces the palate with its intensity of ripe cherry, bordered by silky tannins giving birth to a lingering finish.n n Producer Informationn n The domaine covers 13.5 hectares in the Côte de Nuits, with exactly 5.28 hectares of that classified as Grand Cru. Theirs is one of the largest holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin, and they go back a long way here: Louis’s great-great-grandfather, Henri Rebourseau, created the winegrowers’ syndicate in Chambertin. Louis speaks fondly of his great-great-grandfather’s impact on the domaine from the 1920s to the ’40s: Henri was among the first vignerons of the era to estate-bottle his own wine rather than sell it to négociants. “It was a new idea at the time,” Louis says. “Dealing directly with customers and collectors made the estate very famous.”
