Domaine Machard de Gramont

This 20 hectare family estate is managed by Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons Alban and Alexis. The cellars are located in Prissey, a neighbouring hamlet of Nuits-St-Georges. These cellars were built in the XIXth century. Their superb vaults give a "cathedral" effect to the winery. The 20 hectares of vineyards cover an impressive range of appellations spanning 50 kilometres, from Chenôve (south of Dijon) to Puligny-Montrachet (South of Beaune). This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Core d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy needs – it offers more individuality than most negociants and consistently performs well. The family owns small parcels in several different appellations and manages to seduce the individual characteristics from each one. This estate now uses a blend of American and French oak, developing a unique style in the appellation of Nuits-St-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin and Pommard.
The bouquet is soft and fragrant with sweet berry fruits, cranberry and raspberry freshness. The palate is a stylish expression of Pinot Noir, layered berry fruits, a little spice and subtle sweet vanilla oak.
The vineyard lies north of Beaune town, and is central to the appellation, with 4 parcels of vines. The average age of the vines is 50 years old. All grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, and there is an initial sorting of the fruit in the field, prior to destemming and ferment in tanks. a warm ferment aids gentle extraction and preserves aroma and acidity. ageing is in a mixtur of used oak and 10% new barrels.
