Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
An estate founded by a former Polish vineyard worker of Louis Trapet, Domaine Heresztyn has been one of the consistently fine producers in Gevrey Chambertin. However, as Florence Heresztyn increasingly takes the reins, they have clearly reached another level of quality. As Clive Coates MW remarks: "Now they are amongst the top in the village: elegant, composed, full of fruit, full of definition. A major address these days." These are wonderful glossy precocious wines with eloquent morello cherry and bilberry fruit and a certain stoniness that betokens good ageing potential. Plenty of energy, vinosity and concentration here. Gevrey-Chambertin La Perriere is a premier cru parcel of 2 hectares and 47 acres. On the flat plain above the village, sandwiched between the grand cru of Mazis and a section of villages that reaches to the RN74. The name reflects the stones that were probably extracted from the site. Both the soil and the vineyard are worked to ensure high quality fruit: leaf-thinning, green harvesting and lutte raisonnée. The grapes undergo a prefermentation maceration in stainless steel and concrete for eight days, then a further five days alcoholic fermentation before being aged in futs de chene for sixteen months. This wine is deep red coloured showing charm and elegance with cherry-fruit aromas and harmonious tannins.
