Chambertin Grand Cru

Location

Located in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, this Grand Cru covers a surface area of 14.1 hectares on a lengthy slope that overlies hard rock.

Soil Our plot faces south at altitudes ranging between 240 and 250 metres. The soil is brown and contains silt and gravelly scree at the top of the slope and clayey limestone further down.

Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.

Vinification Traditional Burgundian vinification in open vats with long maceration and punching of the cap. Aged in oak barrels (50 to 60% new oak) for 14 to 18 months to lend harmony to the wine and ensure optimal maturity.

Robe Beautiful, brilliant ruby red in colour.

Nose Predominant aromas of red fruit with smoky nuances and spicy notes (liquorice, anise).

Palate Starts off with an impression of sucrosity. This is a classy, structured wine with lovely intensity. Notes of chocolate and cocoa. Excellent potential.

Serve with Our Grand Cru is fine match for beef rib steaks and roasts, poultry, rabbit, game and full-flavoured cheeses. It would be perfect with rabbit stew with chanterelle mushrooms, coq au vin or venison steak with blackcurrant sauce. For dessert, serve this wine with ice cream topped with sour cherries or a lychee, rose and raspberry Ispahan macaroon.

Serve at 15 to 16 °C.

Cellaring potential 10 years or more.
