Description
Gevrey-Chambertin “Champlain” 1997 – Maison Pierre André
The 1997 Gevrey-Chambertin “Champlain” from Maison Pierre André is a classic and fully mature expression of one of the Côte de Nuits’ most iconic appellations. The early and generous 1997 vintage produced wines that were approachable yet well structured. Now at full maturity, this Gevrey-Chambertin delivers depth, balance and a true sense of place.
The colour shows an evolved deep ruby hue with garnet and faint brick tones at the rim. The nose is complex and distinctive, offering black cherry, blackcurrant and ripe red fruit aromas, followed by tertiary notes of forest floor, fine leather, light game and spices. Subtle smoky and peppery nuances underline the wine’s unmistakable Gevrey character.
On the palate, the wine is structured, broad and seamlessly integrated. The tannins are fine and softened, supporting a harmonious and well-balanced texture. Flavours of dark fruits, liquorice, damp earth and noble oak unfold with depth and restraint. The finish is long and persistent, leaving an impression of controlled power and classic Burgundian style.
A characterful and elegant mature Gevrey-Chambertin — expressive, refined and authentic — perfect for lovers of aged Pinot Noir seeking structure, complexity and terroir-driven emotion.
