"Être sobre, c'est boire bon”, or “Being sobre is drinking well ". This is the Domaine’s motto, written on the label. It perfectly summarises the hedonistic spirit of these wines, full, concentrated, fruity but which are delicate and fine. The domaine was founded in 1954 following the marriage of Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot. Vincent Geantet now works in tandem with his son. The domaine based in Gevrey now has 13 hectares in villages, premier crus, and in Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin as well as its plots in Chambolle and Clos-de-Vougeot. It is a reliable and safe bet of the Côte de Nuits. Vincent's daughter, Émilie Geantet, is developing a parallel trading business.

The Domaine Geantet-Pansiot ages its Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits for 14 months in oak barrels (using 30% new barrels), demonstrating its excellent expertise with this "simple" Village by producing a wine with lovely fruity and woody aromas and a fresh, pleasant structure.
