The hinge between Gevrey and Chambolle, with four grands crus and a low profile.
Under the vines
Transitional: firmer and stonier at the Gevrey end, lighter towards Chambolle.
In the glass
Somewhere between its neighbours, which has been both its identity and its commercial problem.
Why it sits here
Historically its wine was sold under the names on either side, which is why the village is less famous than its crus.
Commonly misread
That being between two famous villages makes it a compromise. Clos de la Roche argues otherwise.
