Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "For us a warmer, more sunny area, closer to the rock. Only about 40cm of soil before the rock, but the vines are old – from the 1920s. We are the only domaine with vines in both Gemeaux and La Chapelle, and the soils are different – the soil is much deeper in Gemeaux and most of the vines at the domaine are indeed in Gemeaux, planted in the 1930s – though only 1/4 of the latter. The rows start with 1.1 metre spacing but by the end of the rows there is only 80 cm – that works only with a horse!A more structured and dark-fruited nose versus the perfume of the Latricières. More direct, very silky – oh this is classy! The extra complexity of the Latricières is obvious – here a mine that’s more of direction and structure but still very long."(01/2025)
