Pierre Gelin expanded his family’s domaine in Fixin by purchasing vineyards in the neighboring village of Gevrey-Chambertin. He had been farming Clos de Meixvelle since the 1940s, and replanted it after buying the monopole in 1952. The vines, now 70 years old, are farmed organically by his grandson Pierre-Emmanuel, and the concentration of their fruit is apparent in the lovely freshness and density of this Gevrey. It’s a wine of power and elegance, with red and black fruit woven into the silken texture. A village-level wine to cellar as you would a premier cru.
