Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru La Bossiere 2016

Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Bossière is a monopole and, at 0.45 hectares, the smallest premier cru in the commune.

Gevrey-Chambertin has more premier cru land than any other village in the Côte de Nuits, and La Bossière is the outlier among them — a single tiny parcel at the mouth of the Combe de Lavaux, the cleft in the escarpment that funnels cold air down onto the vineyards below. Harmand-Geoffroy is its only producer. The position makes it a genuinely cool site, late to harvest and constantly worked over by the winds coming down the valley, and that is what defines the wine: a mountainous, taut character with pronounced mineral drive and freshness rather than the broad-shouldered weight associated with Gevrey’s better-known crus. The vines were replanted in 1988. The domaine works in a traditional register, with destemmed fruit, a long cuvaison and measured use of new oak.

Worth five years and good for fifteen. Serve at 16-18°C with roast duck, jugged hare or a mature Époisses.
