'Vieilles Vignes', old vines, have the advantage that crop yields remain naturally low. And low crop yields mean 'concentration'. Here we get that concentration in a Gevrey-Chambertin 'village' made of two contiguous 'lieux dits' (Pressonniers and Fourneaux) that are below the line of the Grand Cru west of the Combe Lavaux. We are talking about a classic Gevrey village, similar to the 'Aux Etelois' vineyard which is just across the road. This is Gevrey-Chambertin as we love to see it.
