The castle
Château-Gris is a castle that was built in the 18th century in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the middle of a 3.4-hectare walled vineyard. Its name comes from the grey (gris) colour of its slate roof, which is unusual in Burgundy where tiles are predominant.
Its terraced vineyard, which is rather rare in Burgundy, is organic certified. It culminates at an altitude of 280 metres. The plots close to the castle are planted with Pinot Noir grapes, while Chardonnay is grown higher up. The vines have an average age of over 40 years.
The vineyard’s altitude, steep slope that faces due east, and characteristic clay-limestone soil (Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic) provide optimal conditions for yielding fine, elegant wines.
Starting with the 2018 vintage, athe wines of the Château-Gris will bear the certified “organic wine” label.
