100% Pinot Noir planted in 1960, 65 and 90 on Gevrey's distinct, heavy red clay and limestone soils. The organically farmed grapes are triple sorted to ensure only pristine fruit. De-stemmed and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel before being transferred to barrique (20% new), where the wine ages for 18 months before bottling.
A bold, almost brooding nose that's simultaneously pretty and refined. Opens with ripe red cherry, blackberry, baking spice, cedar, red flowers and a touch of sous bois. The luxurious palate is rich and lush, showing off the power of this mighty village. It's deep and concentrated with layers of dark berries and spice that cling to the palate long after the wine is gone. A brilliant, polished, near perfect red Burg.
