Gevrey-Chambertin "En Créot"

These vines were planted between 1950 and 1958 across 1.4 hectares to the northwest of the appellation in Brochon, in the continuation of the Gevrey valley.

The vines grow on shallow brown clay-limestone soil on scree-covered marl from the Gevrey valley, and red silt from the plateau. “Créot” means “chalk”, which underscores the soil type here.

Harvesting is manual and the grapes are fully destalked because this limestone terroir alone is enough to bring mineral freshness to the wine.
