Details and technical informations about Winery Philippe Leclerc's Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru.
Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir
Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.

The wine region of Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru
26 Premier Cru climats on either side of the village in the Côte de Nuits, 100% Pinot Noir: the most coloured, fleshy and structured reds of the region, distinctive game note. Bright ruby in youth, deep carmine with age, aromas of strawberry, blackberry, violet, mignonette and rose. Clos Saint-Jacques flagship climat at the level of neighbouring Grands Crus. Iron-rich clay-limestone soils, south-east exposure, 15-25+ years ageing.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
