This Gevrey-Chambertin Village is succulent but focussed

From organically grown grapes

salty wine that comes across as understatement in the glass

"It is hard to classify this wine in the regional category because the density and complexity direct you to a village

Marius monitors the vines

The finish is long and harmonious with subtle chalky character

with refreshing hints of citrus and green apple and a touch of minerality

41% Merlot

The oak component rarely shows in the wines

and yet there's also a smoky reductive character from a long time on lees

It can be paired with duck

therefore there is no bâttonage
