OriginsThis iconic village appellation in the Côte de Nuits, is harvested in the delimited parts of the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin and Brochon.
The famous area of Gevrey-Chambertin produces only red wines and extends over 406 hectares, 86 of which are classified as Premier Cru.
- Brown limestone soils, with some parcels of marl covered with scree and silt from the plateau.
- South-east and east facing.
- Gentle slopes, steeper on the Premiers Crus.
- Altitude between 280 and 330 metres.
Vinification and maturingThe grapes are collected in small ventilated crates, then painstakingly sorted at a table. Next, the grapes are entirely destemmed but not crushed (they remain whole) and transferred by gravity into a vat. Maceration lasts around 3 weeks, with more-or-less frequent cap punching. The wine is aged in the cask for sixteen to eighteen months, using a fairly low proportion of new casks (under 20%). Lastly, the wine is bottled with very light filtration.
