Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzin 2023

Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzin, Gevrey-Chambertin

Six hectares of vineyards, primarily in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, with additional parcels in Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny. We apply the principles of organic and biodynamic viticulture in our daily practices, particularly to help our vines adapt to the challenges of climate change.

Clay-limestone with a good proportion of marl rich in fossilized shells

This parcel is carried out in organic farming, and is worked biodynamically and with phytotherapy. The soils are sown in August to create a varied plant cover (field beans, field peas, rye, oats, red clover, etc.) to promote microbiological life. A gentle pruning technique is used to encourage sap flow.

This cuvée features a fermentation using approximately 50% of whole bunches. Fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts, after a period of cold pre-fermentation maceration. Extraction is achieved through multiple punch-downs per day, depending on the vintage.

Great finesse from old vines. It displays great complexity on the palate with plenty of elegance. Aromas of red fruits and spices are prominent. The wine has a certain structure that can be quite robust.
