Its chalky soil gives this wine a beautiful freshness and great purity. It reveals a beautiful aromatic radiance on delicious notes of red fruits (cherry, morello cherry) which underlines a remarkably fine touch on the palate. Its position and unique climate give this wine a purity worthy of some premier crus of the appellation.

100% Pinot Noir. These vines were planted between 1950 and 1958 across 1.4 hectares to the northwest of the appellation in Brochon, in the continuation of the Gevrey valley.

The vines grow on shallow brown clay-limestone soil on scree-covered marl from the Gevrey valley, and red silt from the plateau. “Creot” means “chalk”, which underscores the soil type here.

Harvesting is manual and the grapes are fully destalked because this limestone terroir alone is enough to bring mineral freshness to the wine.

Once again the aromas are notably ripe while retaining reasonably good freshness on the notes of poached plum, cassis and warm earth along with a violet top note. The rich and appealingly textured flavors also are relatively refined while terminating in a fleshy, even plump, finish that is also youthfully austere. Drink: 2027+
