Domaine Tortochot, nestled in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, has been in the Tortochot family for four generations. The estate is known for its dedication to traditional winemaking methods and for producing wines that reflect the unique character of its terroir. The current owner, Chantal Tortochot, continues the family tradition with a focus on quality and sustainability.
The "Les Corvées" vineyard is located in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, known for its chalky soils ideal for Pinot Noir. The vines are of average age, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth. Domaine Tortochot practices organic viticulture, resulting in wines that offer a pure expression of the terroir.
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After complete destemming, they undergo traditional fermentation in open vats with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures for 15 months in French oak barrels, some of which are new, to develop structure and complexity.
Serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. The Gevrey Chambertin AC Les Corvées BIO pairs perfectly with grilled red meat, game dishes, and aged cheeses. Its complexity and elegance also make it an ideal partner for dishes like roast duck or rack of lamb.
