Histoire du domaine
The Geantet-Pansiot estate was founded in 1954 following the marriage of Edmond Geantet and Bernadette Pansiot in Gevrey-Chambertin. The founders began with around 3 hectares of vineyards in the Gevrey-Chambertin and Bourgogne appellations. Their son Vincent joined the family business in 1977, when it comprised 7 hectares. He subsequently took over the running of the estate in the late 1980s. The vineyard expanded during the 1990s, notably through the acquisition of plots in Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. Fabien Geantet officially joined the estate in 2006 after working alongside his father. Since 2022, he has been the manager of SCEV Geantet-Pansiot, whilst Vincent Geantet remains a partner. Recent industry sources identify Fabien Geantet as co-owner and head of winemaking.
Charmes-Chambertin (Gevrey Chambertin)
Charmes-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Aux Charmes and Mazoyères. The vineyard occupies a slight piedmont bench, between 260 and 280 meters in altitude, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. Its shallow, carbonated and well-draining soils combine limestone gravel, clays and red silts; the parcels of Aux Charmes face mostly east to east-northeast, while Mazoyères is oriented more towards the south. The demarcated area of Mazoyères-Chambertin coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, the latter name being commonly claimed.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats Aux Charmes and Mazoyères is attested as early as the 18th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified them partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A 1931 ruling by the Dijon court sanctioned the addition of the name Chambertin and established the boundaries of the appellation d'origine; the AOC Charmes-Chambertin was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937. The parcel area currently specified in the product specification cahier des charges was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
