Geantet-Pansiot, Gevrey-Chambertin Le Poissenot, 2010 Charlie Clay SO061025 terroir-focused Champagne makersPremier Cru Le Poissenot from Geantet Pansiot, one of the estate's flagships, here in the warm and generous 2010 vintage. This upper slope Gevrey cru is farmed without chemicals and made in the Geantets' powerful, fruit driven style. The classically structured 2010 vintage gave reds of fine balance and freshness, and at this age the wine is moving into a lovely mature window with grip to spare. Drinking well now, it will continue to reward the cellar.
