The village of Gevrey Chambertin is located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits. It is one of the vastest winemaking villages in Burgundy. The grappes are harvested in the villages of Gevrey and Brochon, which also produce the Côte de Nuits-Villages.

Brown calcic and brown calcareous soils with some parcels of marls covered with scree and silt derived from the plateau. South-Eastern and eastern exposure. Soft slope, slightly more abrupt on the Premier Crus. Altitude between 280 and 330 m.

The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted manually on arrival at the winery. 100% of the grapes were de-stemmed. Vatting for 22 days. Cold maceration for 5 days at 8°C.

Twelve days of fermentation with punching down twice a day during the fermentation at a temperature of 33°C. Ageing in 100 % Burgundian oak barrels of 228 litres with 20% of new one.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
