This cuvée comes from a plot located on the southern limit of Chambolle and Vosne Romanée, facing east on the Combe d'Orveau, place where the excrement cone which forms Echézeaux and Clos de Vougeot opens. Aging takes place over 12 months in 500 liter barrels, 30 to 40% of which are new barrels. Grandiose Chambolle “La Combe d'Orveau” which welcomes us with a deep and refined bouquet around the scents of violet and peony, aromas of fresh blackcurrant enhanced with spices and musky notes. The palate is quite powerful with a solid and diffuse substance, however, we enjoy the finesse of the touch.
Coming from a large plot of 1.1 ha located at the first scree of La Combe d'Orveau on filtering soils and resting on a layer of white marl, the wine always has a typical ruby ​​shine. Always elegant and fine at first glance with notes of fruit (redcurrant, raspberry) and floral notes of old roses, the slightly tannic finish is based on notes of white pepper. Never very acidic, the wine blossoms over around ten years. It goes very well with poultry (pigeons, quails) and roasted red meats.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
