Description
Site: located in the north of the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin is world-famous, not only for its superlative Grand Crus, but also for all its other vineyards. The Craipillot vineyard is located in the northern part of the village, on a very gentle slope, below the Clos Saint Jacques, and at the beginning of the split of the Combe de Lavaux.
History & tradition: Vines have been cultivated here since 630AD, when a certain Bertin decided to emulate the monks, his neighbours. The wine he made turned out to be spectacular - and the rest is history!
The name "Craipillot" refers to the nature of the soil. Composed of "crai", term describing a stony and limestone soil, and "pillot", a Burgundian diminutive for "stone", it is the double expression of the presence of pebbles and small stones.
Tasting
"The nose displays delicious fruity notes mingling with sweet spice hints.
The roundness and delicacy of the tannins confer a stunning charm to the wine.. This rare Premier Cru of Gevrey does not show the tannic structure of some of its neighbours, it is a wine full of refinement and distinction".
