Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Lavaux-Saint-Jacques"

One of the great appellations of the Côte de Nuits both in terms of size and of reputation, Gevrey-Chambertin is characterized by a wide variety of different terroirs. No white wines are found here, only Pinot Noir is cultivated. Our vines are planted on the slopes around the mouth of the Lavaux valley. This valley has a strong influence on the growth cycle of the vines, the ripening of the grapes and gives tremendous respectability and precision to the wine.
