History

A Côte de Nuits appellation which takes its name from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The appellation extends over 400 hectares, 86 of which are classified as Premier Cru.

Grape variety

100 % Pinot Noir.

Terroir

The vineyards, facing the rising sun, East/South-East, are located at an altitude between 230 and planted on brown chalky soils. The vines benefit from marls recovered by screes and red limons coming from the plateau. Those gravels offer elegance and finesse to the wines when rich marls with clay and shell fossils bring body and firmness.

Vinification in wooden vats for three weeks followed by maturing in barrels for 17 months, 20% new oak.

Vintage : 2010

The winter has been long and cold and was marked by severe frost at Christmas time which seriously damaged the vines. The Spring was mitigated as the flowering was extremely long and drawn-out which triggered further loss. August and September were quite sunny which allowed the grapes to reach optimum maturity. Harvest occured even earlier than usual as we started to harvest the red grapes in Côte Chalonnaise on the 18th of September and the white grapes at the end of September.
