Harmand Geoffroy - Naturally Gevrey

A terrific line-up of red Burgundies from ‘...a fine, confident Domaine’

“Gerard is one of Gevrey’s stars, producing a splendid range of wines…The Harmand’s touch is clearly masterly. Their wines are all too attractive young, but age well. A fine, confident domaine.”
Remington Norman and Charles Taylor MW, The great Domaine of Burgundy.

“Gérard Harmand, and his son Philippe, run this 9 ha domaine (that owns the rarely seen monopole of La Bossière) where a great deal of progress has been made in the last few years since my last visit. As Gérard explained, this father-son team are trying to make wines with more elegance and finesse…I agree completely with Harmand's assertion that they're now making wines that are better balanced and less overtly rustic than in the past…” Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Issue 29. 

In many ways Gevrey produces the primordial red Burgundy: Burgundy that defines the style of other communes, by comparison, Burgundy that marries true power and structure with elegance and perfume. This is mountain Pinot, from rocky soils high up on the Côte, just below the woods. Gevrey is also the most northerly of the famed Côte d’Or villages and it is this northern climate, along with the many high, windswept vineyards that gives this commune’s wines their often “pretty yet firm” personality when they are young.

Gérard Harmand and his son Philippe produce archetypal Gevrey Chambertin from a superb range of terroirs. They have remarkable, old vine holdings in Lavaux St Jacques, Champeaux, Perrière and La Bossiere (Monopole), as well as a healthy slice of the Grand Cru Mazis Chambertin. If you love classic Gevrey with site transparency, lifted aromatics, fresh, crunchy fruit and fine, powdery tannins, then these wines are for you.... learn more
