(Allen Meadows' Burghound Score 90-93 Outstanding) A restrained and markedly cool nose reflects notes of violet, plum, earth and a more discreet touch of wood. The supple and relatively forward medium weight flavors possess an appealing sense of energy, all wrapped in a sleek and stony finish that is less austere than usual. As is the case with several wines in the range, this is not especially dense but it is both very complex and well-balanced.

During the construction of the Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, the monks of Cluny would gather in the valley after a hard day of labouring the vineyards. The soils in this parcel are the same as in "Les Cazetiers" although the parcel is located slightly higher up. This truly is a remarkable terroir.

The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. The proportion of de-stemmed grapes and whole clusters varies depending on the vintage. The wines are punched down daily in order to extract colour, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine. The wines are aged for 16 months in French oak barrels (40-50% new oak and 50-60% one-wine barrels) which have been selected for their fine grain and moderate toast. The wines are left to age in our cellars at consistent, natural hygrometry and temperature.

Intense ruby red colour and an attractive nose offering fresh red fruits, sweet spice, oaky notes and a touch of smoke. The palate is smooth and persistent with fruity, oaky notes that linger on the finish. A remarkably elegant wine with silky smooth tannins and a very distinctive finish.
