Vintage Character The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots from Michel Magnien is a striking example of Premier Cru Burgundy, shaped by an outstanding vintage. Burgundy’s 2020 growing season was marked by warm, sunny weather, resulting in Pinot Noir grapes with impressive ripeness, concentration, and a vibrant core of acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine opens with expressive aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry, violets, and subtle earthy undertones, complemented by hints of spice and forest floor. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of deep red fruit, refined tannins, and a mineral-driven finish that speaks to the limestone-rich soils of Les Goulots. Its elegance and persistence make it an ideal partner for dishes such as roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a wedge of aged Comté cheese, enhancing both classic and modern cuisine with finesse.
