Description

Sylvain Morey Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru 'Champs-Gains' 2023Sylvain Morey farms the last existing plot of Pinot Noir in the premier cru Champs Gains, a tiny 0. 16 hectare parcel planted in the early 1950s by his grandfather Albert. To taste his white and red Champs Gains side by side is to experience the mystery of Burgundy with uncanny clarity: both are deeper in register than their villages counterparts, and both display a telltale flint character that shows itself on the nose and continues through the smoke

heavily laden with stones

60% Grenache planted in the 1950s and 2000s and 40% Syrah from the 1980s are destemmed and vinified separately with wild yeasts in concrete vats over three weeks with periodic pumpovers

and that’s it

and aging takes place on the fine lees for three months in stainless steel

In certain exceptional vintages

10-20 cases imported

trained high above the ground and spaced widely

Citrus and slightly tropical notes

with a texture simultaneously airy and concentrated

The Gérard family owns 3

mineral-saturated but not austere

The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel cuves and the fermentation extends for a minimum of ten days with frequent “remontage”
