Gevrey-Chambertin: a world famous village in the heart of the Côte de Nuits; well known for its great red wines, perfect examples of Pinot Noir complexity and balance.
The intense aromas of this Gevrey-Chambertin call for rich dishes such as a saddle of lamb, boeuf bourguignon or coq au vin, and ripe cheeses.

Winemaking
Vinification in wooden vats followed by maturing in barrels for 14 to 16 months (20% new oak).
-
Nose
Distinguished and complex, slightly woody, with hints of vanilla and red and black fruits (blackcurrants, raspberries and Morello cherries). Animal notes of musk and fur.
-
Palate
Full-bodied, with ageing potential, long and persistent. As the wine develops the presence of red fruits is confirmed, with a sub-structure of liquorice. Gevrey wines are noted for their strong character and intense, expressive aromas - powerful but extremely mellow.
