Description

The name is derived from "graviers", small pebbles or gravel found on the soil of the vineyard.

The Romans had already recognized the potential of the hillside overlooking Beaune and planted vines there. Some of the vineyards were separated by small walls and paths which are still extant today.

Notes de Presse

16/20

It is necessary to obtain all 2010 and in particular all those of the House Joseph Drouhin. This tiny, crunchy wine with its vertiginous relief attests to this. The research of purity on white makes school on red also banishing the brand of wood. Gault&Millau

Tasting

"A great wine, one of the most representative of Beaune, the capital of Burgundy. Intense and bright red colour. The nose displays aromas of red currant with some spicy notes. With age and in some vintages, the aromas become even more marked by spicy and smoky touches, such as tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are refined and create a seductive harmony. In the aftertaste there is a marked flavour of "crème de cassis" (cream of black currant) and delicate touches of wood".

Tasting notes by Véronique Boss-Drouhin


Vintage
The reds were vinified harmoniously. We managed to keep a good proportion of whole bunches in a great number of cuvées. The malolactic fermentations were late and as they lasted over a long period, the wines acquired fullness and complexity. They display a neat and bright ruby-red colour. The wines are elegant, long on the aftertaste and with ample character. 2010 will certainly provide some great wines.
