The property counts on 12.75 hectares of which 1.25 planted with chardonnay, for an average production of less than 60,000 bottles. Jacques and his son Jeremy (whose wife Diana, winemaker, works in the domaine) are faithful to a Pinot Noir very marked obtained through the vinification of whole grapes, the wine has rarely got a great color, but after a long period (even beyond thirty) tertiary aromas do justice to this wine.
Five imported wines: a Morey Blanc Village and a 1er Cru, a Morey Village rouge, a Gevrey 1er Cru and a Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, flagship of Seysses family. Read more
