Grape variety

100 % Pinot Noir.

Tasting notes

Visual: shining bright ruby red color, with violet hues.
Nose: aromas of small red and black berries (strawberry, blackberry) and spicy notes (liquorice, pepper).
Palate: power and balance in the mouth. A great Burgundy with fruity flavours, firm structure and silky tannins.

Wine and food pairing

Massive, yet velvet-smooth, the tannins of gevrey-Chambertin confer power and solidity to the build and contribute to its great longevity. This is a wine for meat-eaters, its gamery notes giving it a particular affinity for game, whether furred or feathered, especialy when the wine is more fully evolved. It also goes superbly with rib steak, lamb (braised or in brown sauce), and all musky, solidly fibrous meats, that need time in the mouth to extract all their savour.It is at ease with all strong cow-milk cheeses (Epoisses, Ami du Chambertin or Cîteaux).

Vintage : 2022

Uncertain weather conditions all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
