The Story
Les Gruenchers is a lieu-dit north of the village of Chambolle-Musigny, at the foot of the hill, where the slope is only slight (less than 5%). Ranging in altitude from 266 to 273 meters, this lieu-dit faces southeast.
The soil is 40 to 50 cm thick, and very stony, with jagged fragments of Premeaux limestone, and flint-like chert nodules (chailles).
The substratum at Les Gruenchers is composed of Premeaux limestone.
Vuosikerta 1993
In Burgundy 1993, an early flowering in the month of June, was followed by a wet early July before a hot dry August. The reds of 1993 are outstanding. They are powerful and concentrated with a firm backbone of ripe tannins. The whites although austere to begin with and slow to evolve have developed into magnificent well structured, powerful wines. A vintage that produced wines built for ageing.
Once again, expectations were high in Burgundy...
