Griotte-Chambertin AOC
Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is a tiny red Pinot Noir appellation below Clos de Bèze, prized for aromatic intensity and concentrated texture.
Overview
This compact Gevrey-Chambertin vineyard occupies a warm, sheltered east-facing position between Chapelle-Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin. Limestone-rich soils and limited area produce scarce Pinot Noir often associated with vivid red fruit, perfume, supple density, and persistent mineral detail.
Geography & Climate
The small parcel lies on the lower mid-slope below Chambertin-Clos de Bèze and beside Chapelle-Chambertin.
Soils
Shallow to moderately deep brown calcareous soils combine limestone fragments, marl, and clay.
Wine Styles
Only red Pinot Noir is authorized, typically aromatic, concentrated, polished, and capable of long development.
