The parcels are located at the south entrance of Gevrey-Chambertin, on a south-exposed slope. The soil is mainly composed of gravels that get warm easily. Destemmed, brief cold maceration. Aged 18 months in barrel, of which 30% new. Cask sample.
Mid purplish crimson. Quite peppery and spicy over pure and quite dark fruit. Archetypical Gevrey until you taste it, then there's an unexpected juicy red-fruit character which really lifts this wine. Firm, dry tannins need more time than some village wines in this vintage. (JH)
