GRAPE VARIETY Pinot Noir CONTROLLED APPELLATION This famous village of the Côte de Nuits is characterized by the importance of its Grands Crus (9) the surface of the vineyard. (600 Ha of vineyards) and the power of its wine. Gevrey-Chambertin is associated with a high aging potential. The village produces only red wine and we produce 2 different wines (separation of each parcel in order to keep the really origin of the soil). LOCAL SOIL The soil of this parcel aged of a little more 50 years is based on limestone with a high proportion of clay-marls. WINE-MAKING Manual harvest-picking. The grapes are sorted in the vineyard and then in the winery of Doudet-Naudin and are controlled on selection tables. A punching of the cap is done daily and the controlled temperature allows the expression of the fruit. The fermentation is done in open vats before pressing. 18 months of maturation in oak barrels CHARACTER AND STYLE Its «robe» is characterised by its deep garnet hue color. The aromatic expression of its nose is very revealing of the great village of the Côte de Nuits. The animal notes are balanced with the finesse of this wine.
