Description
This vineyard is exceptionally steep (at a 40-50% gradient) and is planted with 65-year-old vines. Thirty percent is whole-bunch, the rest destemmed by hand. The fruit is creamy and luscious, coating the palate with red-berry fruit. The tannins are suave and layered, like slabs of granite. This is long, complex and focused.

About this wine
Gamay
A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.
