Those barrels come from high quality barrel makers and have been rigorously selected for their fine grain and light toast.
The expressive, complex nose offers aromas of red fruits mixed with oaky notes. The same aromas are found on the palate and are well coated by finely blended tannins. This Gevrey-Chambertin is perfectly balanced and reflects beautifully all the elegance of Pinot Noir.
This is a blend from most parts of the village, with fruit from 14 different parcels. It is solid and firm while also having great swathes of raspberries and red plums laced together with acidity. The aftertaste is perfumed with a fresh lift.
