The wine region of Gevrey-Chambertin
The Champs-Élysées of Burgundy in the Côte de Nuits: signature Pinot Noir reigns exclusively in reds — intense ruby with carmine glints, complete and structured with strawberry, cherry, blackberry, violet and a liquorice touch, undergrowth and dried fruit on ageing, firm yet silky tannins marrying power and elegance. More robust than its Côte de Beaune neighbours. Village AOC (1936) over Gevrey and Brochon, 26 Premiers Crus and 9 Grands Crus including legendary Chambertin and Clos de Bèze.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
