Chambertin Grand Cru

First nose of black and red fruit liqueur, dominated by blackcurrant, offering great indulgence and intensity, with an evolution towards licorice. The attack is remarkably refined, the wine is saline on the palate, with a taste that is both ripe and fresh; it has an extended licorice finish with graphite notes. Suitable for drinking now and for aging over 30 years.

Description

Long before the current AOCs (Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée), Chambertin and Clos-de-Bèze were already the flagship wines of Gevrey. When these parcels were sold by the Abbey of Bèze in 1219, these two climats were considered indistinguishable. Located in the northwestern part of the Chambertin climat, this parcel is adjacent to one of our Clos-de-Bèze plots called “Le Travers du Chambertin,” which shares similar soil characteristics. The vines were planted in 1976.
