Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière Arnaud Mortet 2020

Clémence and Arnaud bought parcels of the Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru ‘Les Perrières’ in 2016. This cuvée is a blend of two parcels of old vines, one planted in clay-chalk soil and the other in marl soil. Arnaud belongs to a group of young wine makers in Gevrey-Chambertin who work with the Chambre d’agriculture, and so is always interested in finding new ways to improve his work. In the vineyard, no pesticides or chemicals are used, and the soils aren’t worked too much in order to preserve their structure. The domain is half organic and half sustainable growing. The vinification is undertaken with whole bunches to retain all of the fruit’s aromas. The juice is kept in vats for 18-20 days with 5 or 6 stirring sessions. The maturation lasts 16-18 months.
