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."

"From 60+ year old vines growing on teh top of a moderate slope. Soil is shallow Oxfordian marl."

Jasper Morris:

" Pale lemon and lime, rather elegant, even floral. The oak has given some weight on the palate but the racy qualities and the racy minerality hold out in a perfectly poised and very persistent finish."
