Gevrey-Chambertin Creux Brouillard Belleville 2018

The wine

Stretching across the areas of Gevrey-Chambertin and Brochon, the vines are grown on chalky soil. This wine has a ruby red colour with hints of purple. Aromas of red fruit, cherry; and chocolate are joined by notes of spice and prune on the palate. Its mineral underscore brings a beautifully fresh finish.

A rising star of the Côte Chalonnaise, domain Belleville is the new darling of critics, whose reviews are all but eulogistic. Since a couple of American Francophiles took over the running of the domain in 2017, the Burgundian domain has come on leaps and bounds in quality. The 22 hectares of vines are farmed organically and biodynamically, and the single parcel vinifications allow the terroir to express itself fully. The domain strives to showcase the suppleness and elegance of their reds, while the whites are admired for their ampleness and pleasing minerality which, at times, led them to be confused with the grands crus of the Côte de Beaune.
