Notes from Becky Wasserman:

"Originally from the Loire, Jérôme does not come from a winemaking family. He worked for eight years in the food industry. Then, after harvesting for a couple of years at Domaine Alain Burguet in Gevrey-Chambertin as of 1996, became inspired and motivated to embark on his own estate project, and so enrolled at the wine institute in Beaune. In 2002, he bought his first vineyard plot (a miniscule 0.05 hectares!) and carried out his own vinification that September. Since then, Jérôme expanded the holdings to five hectares of vines and harvests every year with a group of well-trained friends.

Planted in 1987. From Brochon, between Champerriers and Clos de la Justice, earliest ripening site in Gevrey, on deep, well-draining sandy soil interspersed with alluvial pebbles."

Jasper Morris:

"A youthful fresh dark fruit, with good energy. This has a very attractive ripeness of dark cherry pinot, without exaggeration, and a long plump dark red fruit finish. "
