Most fruit is harvested on the south side of Gevrey (from vineyards like Les Justices and Les Seuvrées, the latter is bordering Charmes-Chambertin). Nice density the pinot way. Touch of oak. Lush finish. Energy is flowing in the right direction.

Cherry. And pomegranate. Pure flavors. But a bit thin to me.

Tart & sour cherries, raspberries, touch of plum, forest floor, lots of chalk, stones and good acidity. Beautiful soft tannins round out the long, smooth and elegant finish. I'd wait and 5 years to open another bottle.

This is the Terroir de Brochon bottling which was done specially for our chapter of the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Gorgeous blue fruited villages wine. A baby, but delicious now.

Delightful. Classic burg nose. Hints of loam and mushroom. Well balanced with medium long finish

Tart fruit, but rocky/minerally on the palate. Slightly sour/bitter.
