Get to know: Domaine Maume, Gevrey-Chambertin En Pallud 1996

A refined Burgundy red wine from the renowned Côte de Nuits, showing the classic elegance of Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin.

Tasting Note

Domaine Maume En Pallud 1996 is an elegant village-plus Pinot Noir that offers a rich, textured character with harmonious ageing notes. Deep ruby in colour, it displays aromas of dark berries, forest floor, herbs and subtle mushroom notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with smooth, integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and flavours of blackberry, cherry, and gentle spice. It finishes with a savoury, earthy complexity, showing the mature depth typical of a well-made Gevrey-Chambertin. A truly expressive Burgundy red for lovers of nuanced, age-worthy wines.

Top food pairings:

  • Roast duck with mushroom sauce
  • Slow-roasted lamb with herbs
  • Aged hard cheeses such as Comté or mature Cheddar
