{"product_id":"pierre-gelin-bourgogne-cote-d-or-rouge-2023","title":"Pierre Gelin Bourgogne Cote d’Or Rouge 2023","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Land\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Gelin is the leading producer in Fixin, the small village at the northern tip of the Côte de Nuits that abuts Gevrey-Chambertin's southern boundary. The soils are clay-limestone, similar in character to Gevrey, with a cool northern exposure that preserves natural acidity through even warm vintages. Their Bourgogne Rouge draws from estate vineyards in and around Fixin, where the terroir lends mineral tension and fresh fruit rather than weight and extraction. Fixin doesn't get the recognition it deserves; the geology is serious, and the best producers here make genuine Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir at prices that make their famous neighbors look difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir, organically farmed. Indigenous yeasts, fermentation in stainless steel and oak tanks. The 2023 vintage was the largest in Burgundy's recorded history, but careful growers saw no dilution: the wine shows ripe red and black cherry, a savory earthy note, and the mineral spine that Fixin soil consistently produces. This is a genuine estate Bourgogne from a domaine that also makes Grand Cru Gevrey-Chambertin. The attention to detail shows, and the value is difficult to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe People\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Pierre Gelin was founded in 1925 in Fixin and is now run by Pierre-Emmanuel Gelin, the founder's grandson. The estate covers 32 acres with holdings in five of Fixin's eight premiers crus, including the monopole Clos Napoléon, and in Gevrey-Chambertin including parcels of the Grand Cru Clos de Bèze. Pierre-Emmanuel farms organically and relies solely on indigenous yeasts. The domaine produces across a full range from Bourgogne to Grand Cru, and the level of care does not change by appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoast chicken with pan drippings, a mushroom tart, duck legs with lentils, or a board of soft cheese and charcuterie. As an entry into the Gelin range, this Bourgogne offers one of the better-value introductions to serious Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49983635161311,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P6040251.jpg?v=1780628793","url":"https:\/\/denverwinemerchant.com\/products\/pierre-gelin-bourgogne-cote-d-or-rouge-2023","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
