Gevrey Chambertin Léon Amiot 2021

Gevrey-Chambertin Léon Amiot 2021 is a refined red wine from Burgundy, made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. The wine comes from plots in "Les Seuvrées", a vineyard located close to Morey-Saint-Denis. These plots are located around 250 meters above sea level and have an east-southeast orientation, ensuring optimal sunlight. The soil is primarily composed of lime and clay (marl) with a high iron content, which adds complexity to the wine. The vines were planted between 1955 and 1989, which means they are over 30 years old.
