Description
This vineyard badly suffered last year’s frost but luckily missed the huge storm in Gevrey this June. The vineyard is high, just under the tree-line and in the Brochon commune so sings with the peppery, spicy bite those attributes bring. The palate is welcoming with just the right amount of Gevrey muscle. Always very appealing, this has a little extra this year.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
