Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru

Premier Cru
la Perrière

Plot(s): Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin.
Plot size: 3,457 m²
Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Soil character: A former quarry, filled with soil after rock was extracted.
Year(s) planted: 1982
Average annual production: 1,850 bottles

Working the vine: We place great importance on respecting nature and the environment, and use environmentally friendly pest control. All of the estate’s plots are ploughed. To improve the yield, once pruned our vines are de-budded and thinned early, by hand. We may choose a green harvest.
Harvest method: Harvested by hand and grapes are placed in small perforated boxes. The harvest is sorted on a vibrating sorting table, and then by hand.
Winemaking process: We are as gentle as possible in order to retain the wine’s initial flavours. The fermentation process begins using the naturally present yeast, following a pre-fermentation cold maceration process. Frequent pigeage according to the character of the vintage. This wine is made using 50% whole bunches.
Maturation: In oak barrels (30% new wood) for 16-18 months.
Bottling: We bottle our wines ourselves on the estate, with no fining or filtration, and according to the lunar calendar, producing wonderfully clear wines with the best possible flavours.

Taste: The finest of our Gevrey Premier Crus. This extremely elegant wine is harmonious on the palate.
