A great domaine known as the face of Gevrey-Chambertin.In addition to the high quality of the wine it produces, it is also noteworthy for the large area of its special grade and first grade vineyards.
Of the domaine's total area of just under 14 hectares, more than half, 8 hectares, are occupied by special-grade fields such as Chambertin (2.2 hectares) and Clos de Bèze (1.4 hectares), as well as 3.5 hectares of first-class fields, and Murama fields. , just over 2 hectares. Another feature is the age of the vines planted in these fields.
Most of the fields were planted before World War II, and the first class Clos Saint-Jacques was planted in 1924 and '54.
The average age of the vines throughout the domaine is over 45 years. The grapes are old, harvested at low yields of 25 to 35 hectoliters per hectare, and are made into wine using traditional methods.
The proportion of new barrels is basically 100% for Chambertin, Clos de Baise, and first grade Clos Saint-Jacques, and around 80% for other special grades. The resulting wine is smooth, elegant, and has a high degree of perfection with a good balance of each element, clearly demonstrating the high reputation of this domaine.
