Product Description
A single-vineyard masterpiece from the engineer behind Gevrey’s resurgence
This is the insider’s alternative to a $300 Premier Cru. Sourced from the "Clos de l’Orme" lieu-dit—which sits directly adjacent to the famous Premier Crus Les Charmes and Aux Combottes—this single-vineyard gem offers the ethereal texture of top-tier Chambolle at a fraction of the price. Winemaker Philippe Chéron, a trained engineer who formerly directed Domaine Belland, applies a scientific precision to these 60-year-old vines, resulting in a wine that consistently outperforms its village-level designation.
Chéron treats this specific plot like a Grand Cru, separating it from his other holdings to highlight its unique limestone-rich personality. While the 2021 vintage was famously low-yielding, it produced wines of shocking transparency and energy, and this bottle is a standout success.
