The 2023 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Poissenot is a refined and structured red Burgundy from the highly regarded Poissenot Premier Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin. Situated on the appellation’s cooler upper slopes, this site is known for producing Pinot Noir with freshness, aromatic complexity and impressive ageing potential. The nose is lifted and expressive, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and blackcurrant, alongside notes of violet, forest floor and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that provide both structure and elegance. Flavours of red and dark berry fruits are layered with hints of savoury earth, dried herbs and gentle oak influence, creating a wine of depth and balance. The finish is long and focused, showing the mineral detail and precision that are characteristic of Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru wines.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Premier Cru Pinot Noir that combines aromatic finesse with classic Gevrey-Chambertin structure. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled lamb, game birds and mushroom-based dishes. Enjoy with decanting in its youth, or cellar over the next 10–15 years as additional complexity and savoury nuance emerge.
