A

12,9 ha at the heart of Gevrey next to Clos de Beze north east awarded Grand Cru status in 1937
white marly soils on the upper part from Bajocian period
Chambertin is referred as the King of Wines
It is less forthcoming yet powerful, structured in comparison with Clos de Beze which is classier and more delicate and recieves some cooling breezes from the Combe Grisard
It lacks a bit of finesse in youth but it rounds out with age, its a male wine.
Chambertin is put at the top along with Romanée-Conti and Musigny.
a gentle slope from 280 - 240 metres in altitude.

Q

Clos de Beze Grand Cru topography, soils, characteristics and style

A

Chambertin - Clos de Beze is located in the immediate extension of Chambertin. The 15.4 hectares of vineyard have greater variations in soil than Chambertin itself. The slightly higher proportion of dark marl at the northern end makes the wine slightly heavier.The whole slope sits on a deep bed of Bajocian limestone, though the soil is lighter in colour as well as depth at the top of the vineyard
Founded by the monks of Bèze in the 7th century, Clos de Bèze is one of the oldest recorded vineyards of Burgundy and signifiicantly the older of the two Chambertins
very warm site often with an extra degree of alcohol compared with Chambertin (Rousseau)
May also called Chambertin

Q

Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

It is located on the lower slopes of the grand cru belt, immediately below the commune’s most prestigious climat, Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze. It is one of the area’s lesser-known grand cru vineyards. Faces northeast
5.49ha and is one of the smaller grand crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. Its limestone-rich soils are stony in texture, allowing for free drainage and forcing the vines to grow deep, strong root systems in search of water.
Took its name from the Notre Dame de Beze
It has been described by Pierre Damoy as ‘The Musigny’ of Gevrey
Its wines are lighter in color than those from the Chambertin climats further up the slope, and not as concentrated as those from the small Griotte-Chambertin site immediately to the south. These comparisons are relative, however. These are still full, structured examples of Pinot Noir that can be aged for many years.

Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

Tucked between Charmes-Chambertin and Chapelle below the southern end of Clos de Beze, is the smallest of the crus (2.73ha) divided among 6 producers.
Northeast orientation
This aspect means that the vines have less exposure to the morning sunshine, and ripen more slowly than other climats
Very shallow soil and can suffer in dry years, well-drained and stony, with a thin layer of pebble-strewn, chalky topsoil over a deep, rocky base.
The wines are among the lightest, perfumed, floral with peony aromas among cherries

Q

Charmes & Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

Charmes-Chambertin (12.24ha)
Mazoyeres-Chambertin (18.59ha)
Charmes-Chambertin (including Mazoyeres) has been regarded as the weakest of the crus.
Mazoyeres lies at the southern part below Latricieres and on the right below Chambertin lies Charmes which borders Griotte on the right.
The soils of Charmes are relatively red with high iron content well-drained and stony, with a thin layer of pebble-strewn chalky topsoil over a deep, rocky base and limestone. In Mazoyeres the topsoil appears lighter in colour and texture with fewer pebbles and greater depth.
Charmes offer a seductive concentration of plump red fruit while Mazoyeres can be more complex and refined. In general more approachable wines for earlier drinking.

Deeper soil than most of the crus, dark in colour with an underlying rock of Jurassic limestone with high silica content.
Faces southwest
It is a continuation of Chambertin but with cooler soil, affected by the Combe Grisard which brings cooling breezes and in the past needed a warmer vintage to show its best.

A

9.10ha
Lies at the northern end of the crus closest to the village.
Divided between Mazis-Haut close to Clos de Beze and is considered superior than Mazis-Bas.
The higher end of the slope has particularly thin limestone soils.
The wines are noted for firm structure and considerable power and the best examples closely resemble the wines of the neighboring Clos-de-Bèze climat. They often have a wilder character with notes of tannins, leather, menthol and liquorice far from the opulent sweet fruit of Charmes.

52
Q

Clos de la Roche topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

16.90ha
Northern cru borders Auc Combottes to the north
The terroir in Clos de la Roche is based largely on limestone, with the lower slope underlaid with Bajocian marl from the middle Jurassic while the steeper, western, portions of the site are Bathonian (slightly newer, but still from the mid-Jurassic age, 160 to 170 million years ago)
This, combined with the gentle easterly slope of the site, makes for good drainage and exposure to the morning and midday sun. The result is healthy, strong vines that produce high-quality berries with good concentration.
Structured wines with weight and density and longevity that leans toward Gevrey in style.
On the nose reminiscent of musk, nutmeg, iron and graphite with darker fruit than Clos St-Denis while on the palate the tannis are firmer and grainier with a mineral structure and austere in youth

57
Q

Bonnes Mares (St Denis) topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

1.5ha

Name the Grand Crus of Chambolle-Musigny

A

Musigny (red and white)
Bonnes Mares

61
Q

Musigny topography, soils, characteristics and style?

A

10.85ha
One of Burgundy’s outstanding crown jewels ahead of Chambertin, the finest of all Grand Crus together with some of Vosnes Romanee’s monopoles.
Described as an ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’ as in Chateau Margaux
The sumptuous nature of the fruit provides the velvet and the exceptional density of it is the fist
Made up of 3 lieux-dits
Les Musigny referred as Les Grand Musigny, Les Petits Musigny and La Combe d’Orveau
Domaine Comte George de Vogue owns all of Les Petits Musigny and the lions share of Les Grand Musigny while Jacques Prieur owns all of La Combe d’Orveau
Musigny located to the southern part bordering CLos de Vougeot and Les Amoureuses
In all, Musigny is relatively steep and thus very well drained. The high proportion of chalk and limestone in the soils here, coupled with its excellent drainage, means that the vines are forced to develop deep and healthy root systems to search for water.
Musigny Blanc is made only by CGV

A

red and white
classified in 1937
The vineyard covers 51 hectares (125 acres) of land. It is second only in size to Corton.
100 different parcels owned by more than 80 producers. Its wines therefore vary considerably in character and quality
Lies in the center of the Côte de Nuits. The grand cru Musigny, Echezeaux and Grands-Echezeaux vineyards are on the slopes above Clos de Vougeot, covering its western border. Further north, are the premier cru and village-level vineyards of Chambolle-Musigny and Flagey-Echezeaux to the east of D974
The highest part of the vineyard has the best terroir, with vineyard soils made up of free-draining, pebbly Bajocian limestone. Middel part more clat while the bottom has deeper alluvial soils on top of marlstone.

Pinot Noir even though was planted with Chardonnay in 1855
The Grand Cru Musigny vineyard lies above it to the northwest and the Premier Cru Les Amoureuses to the northeast
Vougeot Les Petits Vougeots borders it, below to the east
This cliff is important to the climat’s terroir, as it provides some shelter from cold westerly winds.
This, combined with the sunny southeast aspect of the cru, makes for a warm mesoclimate – warmer than the other Premier Cru climats in Vougeot. Clos de la Perrière is subsequently the first to be harvested in the area, and gives a wine with a little more weight and concentration.
stony soils over calcareous clay with a high proportion of limestone
Pre-fermentation cold maceration is followed by alcoholic fermentation at 82°F, with malolactic fermentation in barrels.30% to 50% of full grapes. Only natural yeast from the grapes is used, the wine is manually punched down and left to ferment in tanks for 21 to 28 days.

Became Grand Cru in 1992
sandwiched between Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Romanée-Conti and La Romanée on the other side of the road, and La Tâche to the south.
pebbly limestone soils and easterly aspect make it very well suited for growing Pinot Noir. The soil, which has a moderate proportion of clay, drains well while retaining enough water to keep the vines hydrated throughout the growing season
renowned for their elegance, silky texture and longevity, though it is only recently, under the careful stewardship of Nicole Lamarche that these wines have begun to establish their stellar reputation
Lack of quality in the 1970s

87
Q

Name Richebourg’s lieux-dits

A

Les Veroilles ou Richebourg (1er cuvee) and Les Richebourg
Les Véroilles lies slightly further to the north with a more northeasterly aspect, with rows running north-south, and so is slightly cooler. Harvests in the latter tend to take place two to three days after the former.
Today the two sections are generally regarded as equals in terms of quality. Les Véroilles wines are sometimes described as having more pronounced acidity and more minerality, with Les Richebourgs denser and more powerful.

88
Q

Liger-Belair
The legendary Henri Jayer made a Richebourg wine until his retirement in 2001 – the remaining bottles are some of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world.
(In 1996, the French Government told Jayer that he must either retire or forfeit his pension. In response, Jayer transferred his vineyards to his nephew, Emmanuel Rouget)

88
Q

Richebourg topography, soils and style?

A

8.03ha (The name Richebourg literally means “rich town”)
It is one of the larger sites in the village, and is famous for its full-bodied, muscular style of Pinot Noir.
Richebourg wines are in fact some of the most opulent from Vosne-Romanée, exhibiting earthy characters along with dense fruit, and they are capable of being cellared for many years. In general, deeper in colour and fuller in body than Romanee St-Vivant.
The climat is Vosne-Romanée’s northernmost grand cru, situated on the midslope of the Côte d’Or. It sits immediately adjacent to the La Romanée and Romanée-Conti sites, and the Romanée-Saint-Vivant climat is on the slopes below. The famous Cros Parantoux Premier Cru vineyard, often considered to be worthy of grand cru status, is on the slopes above Richebourg.
The soils here are made up of pebbly clay and sand overlying a hard limestone base.
easterly aspect gives the vines access to the morning sun while protecting them from cold westerly winds except Les Véroilles (northeastern)

89
Q

La Romanee is a monopole of?

A

0.85ha ( is the smallest appellation in France)
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair
land on the hillside immediately above the famed Romanée-Conti vineyard, overlooking the village of Vosne-Romanée.
The wine can be slightly less refined than that of Romanée-Conti, although has enough structure, vibrant acidity and aromatic red fruit character to make it one of the best wines from Burgundy.

90
Q

La Romanee-Conti is a monopole of?

A

1.81ha
Domaine de la Romanee-Conti jointly owned and managed by the de Villaine and the Leroy/Roch families after the 1930s.
Vines were first planted on this part of the Côte d’Or by the monks of the Saint-Vivant abbey in the Middle Ages (1584).
In the 18th Century, the site passed into the hands of the Prince of Conti, a cousin of King Louis XV. It is claimed that the prince reserved the wines from the Romanée-Conti vineyard exclusively for his own personal consumption
The vines, otherwise untouched since pre-Phylloxera days, were replanted in 1947-48, with the first new vintage being made in 1952. The former Cros des Cloux vineyard was renamed Romanée in the 17th century, with Conti being added after it was purchased by the Prince de Condé (or Conti) in 1760. He wanted the very best and kept it only for his own use and that of his immediate circle. Wine writers and critics across the centuries have singled out La Romanée-Conti as Burgundy’s greatest vineyard.
Today managed by Aubert de Villaine
The terroir on the midslope of the Côte d’Or is perfectly suited to Pinot Noir, with its well-drained limestone soils and easterly aspect.
The vines are more than 50 years old on average, and are extremely low yielding.
Whole clusters are used (no destemming) with a long vatting time avoiding excesses of heat

91
Q

Romanee St Vivant topography, soils, location and style and producers?

A

9.44ha (largest climate of the village)
It is a beautifully refined, stylish wine, perhaps having more in common with La Romanée-Conti itself than the more rugged Richebourg.
The climat is directly adjacent to the village of Vosne-Romanée itself, at the northern end of the commune. The Richebourg and Romanée-Conti grands crus cover the hillside above.
The “Saint-Vivant” name comes from the order of L’Abbaye de Saint-Vivant whose monks originally tended to the vines.
has a slightly deeper layer of topsoil and a higher percentage of clay in the overall composition.
Wines from Romanée-Saint-Vivant are considered the lightest and most delicate of the grand cru wines from Vosne-Romanée and neighboring Flagey-Echezeaux (the vineyards belonging to the two villages are contiguous and are often grouped together), and do not attract quite as much attention as their Romanée-Conti counterparts.
the largest portion of Romanée-Saint-Vivant is owned by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti followed by Leroy who has a small section

92
Q

La Tache is a monopole of?

A

6.06ha
DRC purchased in 1933
It is a more flamboyant wine than La Romanée-Conti but needs a minimum of 10 years for all its aspects, including the tannins, to integrate.
The full-bodied and structured wine produced from La Tâche is one of the most expensive and sought-after in the world.
occupies a very particular spot on the mid-slope of the Côte d’Or, at the very southern end of Vosne-Romanée. Its only grand cru neighbor is the La Grande Rue
The Aux Malconsorts Premier Cru vineyard separates La Tâche from the commune border with Nuits-Saint-Georges
Underlying rock is hard Premeaux limestone and white oolitic limestone.
