WINE DESCRIPTION
Gevrey-Chambertin, a renowned appellation in the Côte de Nuits, is celebrated for its rich diversity of terroirs, exclusively devoted to Pinot Noir. Among its esteemed climats, "La Justice" is notable for its ancient vines and optimal east-southeastern exposure, situated along a geological axis shaped over millennia. The name "Justice" refers to its historical ties to the Lord of Gevrey, emphasizing jurisdiction and authority over the land. The winemaking process involves handpicking and meticulous sorting of grapes, followed by fermenting maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21 days, and aging in oak barrels (25-35% new) for 14 to 16 months.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine presents a deep nose rich in aromas of vibrant red and black fruits, including cherry and blueberry, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spices.As it ages, these initial scents evolve into more complex animal notes, such as musk and fur. On the palate, it is delectably velvety, showcasing a delicate structure that enhances its overall balance. The fruitiness detected on the nose is beautifully mirrored in the wine's lengthy finish, leaving a lasting impression that invites further exploration. This elegant expression of flavor and texture makes it a remarkable choice for any wine enthusiast.
