Description

Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'La Bossiere - Monopole' 2022The entirety of this tiny premier cru belongs to the Harmand Geoffroy. It is situated at the top of the Combe de Lavaux in the northern tier of Gevrey Chambertin in a zone that is slightly colder in climate; thus, the wine is often elegant and austere with notes of wild berries being dominant. This vineyard, encompassing slightly less than a half hectare, has some of the youngest vines of the domaine (25 years of age) and it will continue to gain in

the wine spends the better part of a year in a combination of cement and steel vats

this is perhaps the most delicious and complete wine Nadir has ever made

and licorice on a generous but focused frame

The granite-based soils give a “vertical acidity” to the resulting wine

While these more clay-dominated parts of the crus yield fruit of less mineral-inflected complexity than those destined for the Barolo bottlings

due in part to the presence of the Chardonnay-Muscaté among the constituent holdings

The vines of the vineyard “En Chatenay” are an average age of fifty years planted in soils composed of sand and schist 200 meters outside of Saint-Amour

though its easygoing vinification does nothing to hamper its expression of stoniness and garrigue-y depth

Though clearly expressing the underlying limestone

Whereas much of Austria’s Grüner Veltliner is planted in soils of loess

it leads with fruit— small-berried

the soils are very poor and porous which permit the vines to extend deeply into the soil
