Terroir

AOC Gevrey-Chambertin - 100% Pinot-Noir Gevrey-Chambertin is one of several villages in the Côte de Nuits that was given its name by a famous grand cru, in this case, Chambertin. The parcel Combe-Dessus is well-situated in the center of the vineyard, at the foot of the premier cru vineyards. The vines are old vines producing small, concentrated grapes. Combe-Dessus expresses powerfully and with concentrated color the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin.

Wine Making

Fermentation occurs over two to three weeks in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, which measure the phenologic components extracted when pumping the skins over, and ensure the least possible pressure on the skins The aging occurs in oak barrels over 12 to 18 months, with the proportion of new oak varying from 30% to 100% depending upon an analysis, tasting, and evaluation of each vintage
