Marchand Grillot Gevrey-Chambertin En Songe

Description

In 1950, the Marchand family (from Morey-Saint-Denis) and Grillot family (from Gevrey-Chambertin) were joined by marriage, creating the Marchand-Grillot estate that.Today, the estate consists of 9 hectares of vines in 48 different parcels, each of which is harvested and vinified separately, run by Jacques Marchand and his children, Etienne and Marion, the six generation, whoall continueto make traditional wines without compromise. Each cuve has its own barrel regimeand three coopers are employed: Tonnellerie Rousseau, Tonnellerie Hermitage, and Tonnellerie Billon. The domaine picks early, uses up to 25% stems in fermentation, which occurs with natural yeasts, and ages their wines with little new oak. The wines are approachable in youth, though age extremely well.

Gevrey ChambertinEn Songe(which means “like a dream)is the most elegant of Domaine Marchand-Grillot’s Gevreys. The vineyard is located near the Premier CruChampeauxand Marchand’s vines were planted in 1982 on poor sols of yellow marl. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented with native yeasts and aged in one-year-old barrels for 18 months.Dark raspberry fruits dominate this long and layered wine that is wonderfully drinkable already.
