Origin

For travellers coming from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is where Burgundy’s Elysian Fields begin. At the entrance to the hollowed hill of Lavaux, a château - once a property of the monks of Cluny - resembles a fortified wine-cellar.

The canons of Langres, too, were for a long time guardians of these vineyards which can be dated back to the year 640 AD, evidence of a long and intimate involvement in the history of Burgundy's wine industry.

Gevrey-Chambertin forms a kind of guard of honour to a set of fabulous Grands Crus whose crown jewels are Chambertin and Clos de Bèze. The appellation dates from September 1936. The village of Brochon is an extension of Gevrey-Chambertin, sharing the same characteristics.

The Pinot Noir is at its peak performance here.

Vinification and maturing

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.
