The estate and the wine |
|
|
Jérôme Galeyrand works on magnificent plots of old vines, here he has used all his knowhow to produce authentic wines where he has been able to draw out the best of the terroir and the vintage. Jérome moved to Burgundy in 1996, to the Gevrey plain. Today, he owns 5 hectares spread over the Côte de Nuits: Marsannay, Fixin, Gevrey, etc. |

Gevrey-Chambertin En Croisette 2007 is the top of the range in the set of Gevreys produced by the estate. Its substance is opulent and its oak reinforces the wine's construction on the palate. Somewhere between a premier cru and a grand cru, this is an impressive wine, a wine of character. Enjoy when the mood takes you or lay it down for 10 years. |
