Taken from multiple vineyards around the village of Gevrey and then vinified in three separate parts. One component is off light, stony soil, which brings a cool elegance. The second comes from clay soils, which adds its structural intensity. And the third from a group below Grand Cru, giving complexity and finesse. These vines are between 45 and 85 years old. It’s medium weight and quite elegant. Make sure you decant this wine, because even within five minutes, it was opening up before me. It has a grainy, gravelly palate feel, with a dry, savoury edge, adding complexity. It has a smooth, seamless finish and extends with ease and focus. Super Wine.
