Situation The vines are located in Gevrey-Chambertin, with parcels on the East and South sides of the village.

The grapes are hand-picked and 100% destemmed after sorting. Pre-fermentation maceration (12°C) for 5 days. Fermentation in temperature controlled vat with pumping-over and punching of the cap at the beginning. Warm post-fermentation maceration before the wine is put in barrels.

Ageing of 18 months in oak barrels (30% new oak). Malolactic fermentation. Bottling without soft filtration and sulfites reduced to the minimum.

Color Ruby red with purple hints
Aromas When young, elegant notes of cranberries and black fruits, floral with a dominance of violet aromas, followed by hints of elegant, dry rose petal perfume. With age, even more complex tones of liquorice and undergrowth will develop elegantly.
Taste The wine delivers what is expected from a Gevrey Chambertin: velvety touch on the mouth over a well defined and firm structure. The elegance of the tannins guide the tasting experience to complexity and multiple layers of tasting.
