Goedhuis, Decemeber 2023
A single parcel site called Les Seuvrées on the borders to Morey St Denis and produces a more refined and scented expression of Gevrey. An abundance of wild hedgerow fruits, there is a warmth and generosity about the wine, showing the characteristics of the vintage, rounded tannins and a rewarding juicy succulence at the end.

Domaine Truchetet
Discovering this small 6 hectare estate in the village of Premeaux just outside Nuits St Georges has been one of our most exciting discoveries of 2022.

Discovering this small 6 hectare estate in the village of Premeaux just outside Nuits St Georges has been one of our most exciting discoveries of 2022. Morgan Truchetet, wife Pauline, and his sister Julie took over the running of the domaine in 2019. It is thanks to Pauline that we made the discovery; she has been a close friend for many years, first during her time working at Domaine de l’Arlot and then assisting Bruno Colin in Chassagne Montrachet. Quite a CV! The estate wines are 100% focused around Nuits St Georges and, since taking over, Morgan has supplemented the range by buying in fruit to vinify under a negociant label for appellations where they don’t own vineyards. For these he follows the same quality criteria and ideals as for the domaine. They are a dynamic trio, set to make a name in the locality. 2020 saw their conversion to full organic practices. They are currently experimenting in adjusting the trellising and pruning methods to adapt to climate change, optimising photosynthesis but also protecting the bunches by creating leaf shade during the hotter summer months. In 2021 new vinification tanks were installed to allow Morgan, in his words, to infuse the berries, like a tea, gently taking both flavour and colour from all the components. In 2023 they are undertaking a winery expansion to give them more space. Exciting times lie ahead for this small Domaine.Read less
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
