It’s from Collotte’s oldest vines, organically farmed and made very gently and artisanally, with only 25% new oak.
The over 50-year-old vines of this prospective 1er Cru are rooted in an exceptional location above the village on crinoidal limestone, which is rich in fossilized starfish and sea urchins and has the same geology as that of the famous and much more expensive Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru “Charmes”, “Latricières”, “Griottes” and “Chapelle” as well as the entire hillside location of the 1er Crus “Clos Saint-Jacques” and “Lavaux Saint-Jacques.” Wonderfully profound, extremely precise, complex and harmonious and very pure-toned with dark heart cherries, blackberries, dark currants in harmony with a delicate barrel touch and the typical “Clos de Jeu spice”, a well-equipped Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Full-bodied on the tongue, juicy fruit, precisely polished, great structure, created for good storage potential, will be able to mature very well.
