Presentation
A great appellation in the Côte de Nuits, both for its size and its renown, Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for the impressive diversity of its terroirs. White wine is not produced here, only Pinot Noir grapes are grown.
The "Lavaux Saint-Jacques" Climat is located on the slopes that border the exit of the Lavaux combe. This valley has a strong influence on the growth cycle of the vine, and the ripening of the grapes, lending considerable boldness and precision to the wine.

Tasting
Deep nose with aromas reminiscent of ripe red and black fruit (strawberry, raspberry...) and mild spices mingled with a delicate hint of oak which will evolve toward scents of leather over time. This powerful, concentrated wine boasts nice structure on the palate, along with well-integrated tannins and good balance. Very long and intensely fragrant on the finish.
Food pairings
Roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, game)
Medium to mature cheeses
Recipe suggestion: duck breast with mild spices
