Griotte-Chambertin

Terroir

Age of the vines : 60 years old.
This tiny plot is located immediately under the Clos de Bèze, almost where it is adjacent to Chambertin. The slope is very steep and its micro climate, undoubtedly the warmest of all the grand crus, allows the grapes to be ripe 5 or 6 days earlier than the Chambertin. This very sunny plot which is the first to ripen, received many of the silts which rolled down the slope and is a kind of alluvial fan, curving west-east with the highest edges in the north and south.
