Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel Air Philippe Charlopin 2016

Established in 1977 with just over one hectare of vines, this estate has become one of the most prestigious on the Burgundy wine scene. Over the years, the family business has grown considerably and is now run by Philippe Charlopin. The winemaker has also been in charge of vinification at the Domaine de Fixin since 2006. Philippe cultivates 25 hectares of vines on his estate, spread over the emblematic terroirs of the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Chablis. Located in Gevrey-Chambetin, the vineyard showcases this exceptional terroir through traditional, natural viticulture. Once harvested, the grapes are vinified with low-intervention winemaking methods and minimal doses of sulphur. With a wealth of experience working with the greatest names in Burgundy, Philippe enjoys letting his wines express themselves and reflect the terroir. Philippe, with the help of his son Yann over the last few years, produces remarkable, beautifully balanced cuvées that reflect the many distinctive qualities of the region’s finest appellations.
