Gevrey Chambertin, Au Closeau, 1er Cru,

A lively, dancing, lifted Gevrey with notes of flowers amongst the mid weight orange zest scented red fruits. A firm stoniness at core provides focus, while a bright and fresh acidity gives a real sense of animation. Hard to recall a better Closeau. Delicious. Au Closeau benefits from having very deep soils with water reserves which suit well the warm year and, in Caroline’s words “make it quite easy to keep freshness in the wine”. Fermented with 30% whole bunches and aged in 40% new oak.
