A great appellation in the Côte de Nuits, both for its size and its renown, Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for the impressive diversity of its terroirs. White wine is not produced here, only Pinot Noir grapes are grown.
The "Murots" Climats lies at the bottom of the hill on a soil composed of scree and gravel carried by the dejection cone from the Lavaux valley. This very particular soil provides drainage that favours good ripening of the grapes.
TASTING
Rich nose combining scents of very ripe red and black fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant...) with hints of oak and spices that will evolve over time toward more animal notes (musk, fur). Delectable and velvety on the palate, this wine also boasts delicate structure, which contributes to its balance. The fruit found on the first nose is echoed on the lengthy finish.
FOOD/WINE PAIRING
Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, game), or with medium to mature cheeses.
SERVING AND KEEPING
Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).
Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
A rich style, this red boasts cherry, raspberry, earth and tobacco flavors. The tannins are robust yet integrated, leaving a dense matrix of support on the finish. Best from 2023.
