Hi,
I have purchased a new Laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed.
I have managed to do (so far)
- shrink the Windows partition (from within Windows since it's encrypted)
- turned off secure boot to be able to boot a Linux rescue system from USB
- created new partitions (boot, root and home)
- copied a gentoo system from a similar laptop onto the root partition
- reinstalled grub2 (after doing chroot)
My problem now is that I can't select the Gentoo partition within BIOS
since this partition isn't offered as a boot option.

If it's a similar laptop I assume you have grub2 installed in EFI mode.grub is installed in legacy and you can't install win11 in legacy since Microsoft made win11 UEFI-only.
Check if you have grubx64.efi in your EFI partition (usually /<mounted EFI partition>/EFI/gentoo/).
Also check if you have efi boot entry for grub with efibootmgr utility. if grub-install with EFI target was used on a new system it should call efibootmgr to add a Gentoo entry in UEFI).
If you are trying to install grub in legacy mode then look in UEFI settings if CSM or legacy boot is enabled. But since you have win11 and you want dual boot I don't think that it's what you want. Os-prober will not pick up EFI win11 installation if

Some UEFI firmware is buggy and may not pick up a new OS bootloader in the ESP,
at least not pick it up initially. In these cases temporarily changing a UEFI
setting to nudge the firmware to parse the ESP for boot menu entries will help.
So /should/ running the efibootmgr to create an entry with grub's efi
image.
