Quivy Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2013

Many domaines imbue their wines with a distinct style, but at the Domaine Quivy the wines are unusually close expressions of their source. Gérard Quivy is a well dressed fifty-something winemaker, whose domaine is an impeccably restored 18th century manor house in Gevrey-Chambertin. Quivy’s wines are similarly polished and elegant, as meticulous and refined as their maker and domaine.

Quivy’s wines are all from Gevrey-Chambertin, a town whose terroir he knows intimately. His wines are a sophisticated take on this bold, masculine appellation, but remain true to Gevrey’s character. The Guide Hachette, the premier French language wine guide, describes Quivy as “undoubtedly one of the reference points in the appellation.”
