Limited stock. The very beautiful deep ruby colour of the Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers rightly suggests this to be a rich wine. The nose is already very open, with noticeable wood & very ripe fruits. This wine is then rich & fleshy on the palate. The concentrated attack presents us with tannins which are wrapped up in beautiful substance, with complex aromas of raspberry, coffee beans, peach & coconut. ...

On the nose, scents of small red fruits mix pleasantly with spicy & woody aromas, which come from the wine being raised traditionally in oak. This wine is very nicely balanced on the palate. Its rich aromas blend marvelously with its tannins, giving a wine which is greedy & full of body. This Cote Chalonnaise village gets its name from the God Mercury (God of Merchants). The story goes that a temple was erected here in honour of this deity. A Roman road called La voie Agrippa (Agrippa's Road) crosses through Mercurey, which in Roman times, linked Chalon-sur-Saone to Autun. As the name of the wine indicates, this clos formerly belonged to the Kings of France. Serve with: Game & red meats. ...

This vineyard neighbours that of La Framboisiere which produces powerful red wines. In the Clos Rochette, the soil is particularly compact & hard to work, being strewn with little rocks, hence the name. Rich & complex white wines are produced here. To maintain all the freshness & quality of the grapes, they are pressed & vinifed on site in Mercurey. The wine is then brought to Nuits-Saint-Georges to be matured. Only a small part of the cuvee is raised in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months, which allows the wine to acquire delicate woody notes without masking the liveliness & the character sought after in the Côte Chalonnaise white wines. This wine has beautiful complex aromas. It is very expressive on the nose with scents of white flowers & spices. There is a wonderful liveliness on the palate to begin with, which is slightly attenuated by the roundness & smoothness from being raised in oak. The mix of tastes works harmoniously to give us a wine of great delicacy. ...
