Notes - Notes - The Vallet family have been making wine for three generations. They own holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin - the entire single vineyard of Clos de la Justice - Beaune Epenottes (Premier Cru) and Charmes-Chambertin (Grand Cru). They also source the best grapes from growers in other areas, with whom they have worked closely for many years. The Burgundies they produce are complex, fine and taste of the old-fashioned, 'real' Pinot Noir that their provenance would suggest. 001 brought changeable weather conditions, with very late frosts in some areas and a very wet summer. Fine weather in September ensured optimum ripeness at harvest time and resulted in wines of exceptional richness; full-bodied and with intense perfume. Delicious, supple red berry fruit with elegance, integrated tannins and a long, pure Pinot finish.
