Parmi les vins de Jérôme, seul son Aligoté provient de raisins achetés mais cultivés biologiquement, trouvés sur des sols calcaires des Hautes-Côtes de Nuits et dans les sols bas de Puligny. Le vin suit les pratiques classiques de Galeyrand avec des techniques à l’ancienne, une vieille presse, des grappes entières et une fermentation avec des levures...
Due to the cool climate of the vineyard, Galeyrand aims for the latest possible harvest in order to achieve greater phenolic ripeness while maintaining the intensity of the acidity. The vineyard is cultivated organically (uncertified), and no sulfites are added during vinification. The grapes are pressed in a vertical wooden press, and fermentation takes...
Cuvee from four different vineyards, spontaneous fermentation, small percentage of whole bunch fermentation and 16 months in oak barrels. Mouth full of red fresh fruit, spicy elements and silky texture on the palate with an elegant touch of acidity. Unpretentious, easy to drink, with a purely pleasurable dimension. Antonin is the name of his young son.
Wines like Les Retraits are enthusiastically talked about by wine people such as Jon Bonne, Rajat Parr and William Kelley. And they talk precisely about those sidelined designations of origin that hide great secrets. Due to the lack of interest, they managed to escape the "curse" of laboratory-selected clones, preserving excellent genetic material and...
Galeyrand"s winemaking philosophy finds perfect application in the Côte de Nuits Villages Vieilles Vignes. It"s not just the depth and play of the aromas but these beautiful textures that characterize his wines. Wines that literally flow on the palate since the initial tannic attack on the mouth is "washed away" very quickly by the essential fruit. In...
"Les Champs des Vosger" is one of the wonderful Fixin, a designation of origin that has a much better terroir than its "low-key" presence in Burgundy suggests. Apparently this is a "key" for the energetic Galeyrand who with his wines gives a new dimension to such -less prominent- regions or vineyards in Burgundy. For Champs des Vosger he uses a 15-20%...
One of the earliest ripening sites in Burgundy a vineyard located between "La Justice" (on the lower side of D974 and Champerries on the upper side. Quite aromatic and lively in character with a depth of flavour that relaxes the tannic structure of the wine, providing excellent length on the palate. 15-20% fermentation with whole bunches, native yeasts...
A Gevrey of amazing "form", athletic, muscular, full of power and energy from the old vineyards in an exceptional vineyard in the middle of a south-southeast facing slope on limestone with embedded marine fossils. The vineyard is farmed with certified organic farming and biodynamic practices and Galeyrand's non-intrusive, old school winemaking is the same...
To the east of the famous D974, the vineyard is located on sandy soils with several stones and the old vines have extremely complex genetic material from mass selection which seems to be able to produce fruit with intense aromas. The tannins have excellent structure, as fine as cigarette paper, but "layered" on multiple levels that make it seem more...
The vineyard is on the top of a steep slope and is cultivated with organic farming. The grapes are crushed and pressed in an old vertical wooden press, fermented with the native yeasts and then matured for 12 months in oak barrels (20% new) and left for an additional 2 months in a tank before bottling. It is bottled without clarification with mild...
