Lignier Michelot Cuvee Bertin Gevrey Chambertin Rouge

Poured a glass alongside a simple mushroom risotto and the earthy forest floor notes really came through beautifully—exactly what I want from a Gevrey. That classic red fruit and structure combo makes it feel more expensive than it is.

I opened this with some roasted chicken, and the red fruit came through beautifully—cherry and cranberry with that earthy grip underneath. The structure is exactly what I look for in a serious Burgundy, and for the price it’s hard to beat. Definitely buying another bottle to cellar.

That forest-floor note is exactly what I look for in a Gevrey, and it held up beautifully over two hours. The structure gave it real backbone next to the red fruit, so it never came across flabby or simple.
