Henri Pion Gevrey-Chambertin 2018

The Pion family have been distributors of independent Burgundy wineries since 1949. Today, they represent more than 400 estates, including the prestigious Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Georges Roumier, Armand Rousseau and Domaine Leflaive to name but a few. The current generation, brothers Oliver and Christian, wanted to take the business one step further. With the family’s knowledge and expertise behind them, they’ve begun making wine themselves. To make this, grapes are handpicked from three organic plots across Gevrey-Chambertin. The meticulous selection results in a wine which strikes the perfect balance of flavours and structure. Its light and delicate character reminds us of elegant Chambolle-Musigny wines. Expect mature notes of ripe red and black fruits, with silky soft tannins that make it an excellent choice for meaty fish dishes.
