Gevrey-Chambertin is a large town located at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits. It boasts one of the largest surface areas under vine with no fewer than 330 hectares under production. The vines are planted at altitudes of between 240 and 280 metres. The soil is limestone-based with a high proportion of clay marlstones from the scree of the Combe de Lavaux, giving power and roundness to the wines. The grapes for this wine came from several vineyards located north of the village on the famed Brochon which produces Gevrey’s finest “Village” wines.

Winemaking
Aged on the lees for 16 months with no racking using a proportion of 50% new French oak barrels that had been toasted at low temperatures for a long time to impart a very delicate touch of oak to the wine.

Nose
Intense nose of red fruits and spices with beautiful aging notes.

Palate
A robust wine with a dense material and a pleasant tension in the finish.
