Domaine Philippe Garrey was the first grower in the Côte Chalonnaise to become certified biodynamic. He tends his 4.5 hectares by himself for the most part. Of the 3 premier crus he tends, the sand in La Chassière helps maintain a higher temperature. This produces a rounder, more concentrated wine. La Chassière is early-ripening and this parcel has been in the family for a long time. As he says, “it always produces very good results.” I couldn’t agree more. One of those wines that forces you to think about the terroir. An unforgettable acidity and a wine that truly felt alive.
