Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs

Lieu-Dit, how do I translate that? Oh, I'm sure you know what it means. In the Lieu-Dit En Champs, Drouhin-Laroze owns a plot of just 3000 square meters planted in 1959, directly below the Premier Cru Les Cazatiers and Les Champeaux. The fact that the boundary between lieu-dit and premier cru does not necessarily have anything to do with the quality of the wine grown there is just one of the many factors that need to be taken into account during the evaluation. I am firmly convinced that a terroir makes the wine at most once a decade, if at all, and all other years it is the winemaker who, together with the terroir, is responsible for the quality of the wine. En Champs is a complex, dense, precise wine with ripe tannins that skilfully straddles the border to a rustic wine, combining dark fruit with a seductively dense texture to create an extremely neat wine!
