The altitude and cool air from the forest help moderate the climate here, resulting in slow ripening and flavour development, while […]

All the vines are at the northern end of the appellation, which dictates the finesse. The vineyards include: En Motrot, situated between the church and Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, close to Clos Saint-Jacques; Au Vellé, […]
