Chambertin Grand Cru, Pierre Damoy - 2018

Provenance: Burgundy
Appellation: Chambertin
Domain: Pierre Damoy
Grape variety(ies): Pinot noir
On-call time: 30 years
Alcohol degree: 14.5%
Classement: Grand Cru

It is the lord of Burgundy, but perhaps also the most uncompromising, earthy cru: you have to wait for it! Darker and fuller-bodied than the Clos de Bèze at the same stage, it is dense and strict, opening up slowly to liquorice and wild nuances bordering on decadence, but typical of the cru. Only a slow ageing in glass will allow it to develop its inimitable bouquet of spices and its endless, vibrant, rectilinear structure. A myth. Tim Atkin : 95/100

Viticulture

Long before the current AOCs, Chambertin and Clos de Bèze were already the head of Gevrey's vintages. It is important to know that in 1219, when these parcels were sold by the abbey of Bèze, these two climates were mixed up. The name Chambertin probably comes from the field belonging to a certain Bertin. More recently, the vineyard could still be seen facing north-south, but this has not been the case since 1976.

Oenology

Etienne Damoy still calls this parcel "le travers". The estate's parcel is located in the extreme north-west of the appellation, the characteristics of the soil and the grapes produced are very similar to those of the adjoining parcel in Clos-de-Bèze, and the planting took place at the same time (1976), with the same selection.
