Details on Valmur Grand Cru

A

This vineyard dates to the 1200s, when it was known as Vallemeur, the valley of brambles. It sits in a small, enclosed valley in the center of the grand cru hillside. With little wind and airflow, it acts as a heat trap in the summertime, and an easy target for cold and frost in the winter and spring.

42
Q

Origins of name for Latricieres-Chambertin AOP

Aux Combottes

A

Aux Combottes is surrounded by Grand Cru vineyards: Clos de la Roche, Latricières-Chambertin, and Mazoyères-Chambertin. This is the only 1er Cru in all of the Côte d’Or to be completely surrounded by Grand Cru land.

49

A

This climat is adjacent to the western edge of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. The western, highest-elevation portion of Bel Air (0.84 ha) is classified as village rather than 1er Cru.

50
Q

Clos Saint-Jacques

A

The site was the monopole of Comte de Moucheron until 1954. Today there are only five owners, although there is the occasional négociant bottling. All five have parcels that run from the bottom of the slope all the way to the top, ensuring good consistency. This is the finest Premier Cru in Gevrey, but, as it did not touch the borders of Chambertin, it could not merit Grand Cru status.

51
Q

The five owners of Clos Saint-Jacques

A

Armand Rousseau, Bruno Clair, Fourrier, Louis Jadot, Sylvie Esmonin

52
Q

Details on Bonnes Mares

A

Bonnes Mares extends into Chambolle-Musigny.

55
Q

Origin of name for Clos de La Roche

A

Origin of Name: “Roche” translates to “rock.”

56
Q

Clos des Lambrays

A

While Domaine des Lambrays owns 99% of the vineyard, it is not technically a monopole. Sectors within the vineyard include Les Larrets (the core), Meix Reutier (the southeastern corner), and Les Bouchots (the northern sector).

57
Q

Clos de Tart

A

Clos de Tart was the only vineyard in Morey decreed as tête de cuvée by Dr. Jules Lavalle in his 1855 classification. It is one of the only Grands Crus in the Côte de Nuits with vines running north-south rather than east-west.

58
Q
