Domaine Maume Siblas Gevrey Chambertin 'En Pallud' 2022

Originating from France in the Burgundy region, specifically within the Gevrey Chambertin appellation in the northern Cote de Nuits, Domaine Maume Siblas Gevrey Chambertin En Pallud represents a distinct, single-vineyard village expression of classic Pinot Noir. Steeped in the historic winemaking tradition of Domaine Maume under winemaker Bertrand Maume and the Siblas family, this estate bottling highlights one of the most favorably situated lieu-dit parcels in the village. Sourced from En Pallud, an east-facing vineyard site located just below the renowned Premier Cru Les Corbeaux and bordering Grand Cru holdings, the winemaking philosophy focuses on organic farming practices, low yields, gentle destemming, native yeasts, and aging in French oak barrels (approximately 20% to 30% new) to craft a wine of profound concentration, dark fruit purity, and cellaring capability.

Wine Description

The wine presents a deep, clear dark ruby purple colour with vibrant crimson highlights along the rim. An expressive, complex bouquet opens with alluring aromas of ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, and crushed cassis, interwoven with delicate notes of violet, crushed limestone minerality, damp forest floor, sweet tobacco, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied, dense, and structured, delivering concentrated flavours of dark red berries, black plum, and savory herbs, all supported by a firm, mouthwatering core of natural acidity. Framed by fine-grained, muscular tannins and a rich mid-palate, it concludes with a long, energetic finish marked by lingering notes of dark fruit and earthy minerality. Composed of 100% Pinot Noir, it combines the iconic power and structure of Gevrey Chambertin with the refined aromatic elegance of a top lieu-dit site.
