Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes

The grapes for the V.V. bottling come from a total of 10 separate lieu-dit, including La Justice, Les Crais, Murot, Seuvrée and Carougeot scattered throughout the village, with various blends of clay and limestone and thus providing a wonderful expression of all their separate strengths within the final assembly. Age of vines ranges between 50 and 70 years.

2008 Vieilles Vignes

(from ~70 year old vines). A background touch of wood sets off notably ripe yet still very fresh aromas of plum, earth, humus and violets that introduce equally earthy, rich and round middle weight flavors that possess ample amounts of sap that completely enrobe the moderately firm tannins and confers a velvety mouth feel on the balanced and persistent finish. This is an impressive villages and is recommended.
