Description
La Justice is a climat at the mouth of the Combe Lavaux. They have 3 plots (2 hectares in all / ≈ 5 acres), with 50-year-old vines. The soil is composed of stones of different sizes mixed with clay.
The Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice has all the aromatic and tannic intensity characteristic of this appellation. On this stony ground, grapes acquire aromas of heated rock, pepper, chilli pepper, and ripe black fruits. On the palate, you will find concentrated but fine rounded tannins. A fresh herb note (Chartreuse) reveals itself in a finish with lingering salinity, complementing the elegance of this fine example of a Gevrey-Chambertin wine.
This wine can be kept for 5 to 10 years, but its texture and quality mean that it can also be drunk young.
Depending on the vintage, they use 50% whole-bunch fermentation, and ageing lasts about 12 months in barrels (with 20% of new barrels) and 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
