ORIGIN

Just like its “big brother”, the Gevrey Chambertin, this Côte de Nuits-Villages offers aromas of cherry and blackcurrant, often of licorice, and almost always aromas of wildlife, typical of its appellation and terroir.

VINIFICATION AND MATURING

The harvest is done manually. The grapes are sorted once in the vineyard and then more severely in the cellars as soon as they arrive. The fruits are then destemmed, then crushed and placed in thermo-regulated vats. The vinification begins with a cold maceration for 4 to 6 days at a temperature of 8-10°C. Then the alcoholic fermentation begins with the addition of selected yeasts from Burgundy. Daily pumped over and punching down are made to promote the extraction of tannins and color material.

After unpacking, the young wine is decanted and then partly rehoused in barrels (oak – 228 litres) with about 30% new barrels and a part in stainless steel tank for ageing on lees for 10 to 12 months.
