Fine wines of Burgundy

HISTORY

It was in 1901 that my Great Grand Father, Monsieur BIZOT, built a superb cellar as well as a house in GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN. At that time, the vineyard owned "parcels" of vines right down to VOLNAY. Multiple successions split the estate between several families. His daughter, Charlotte GALLOIS inherited vines in GEVREY, around 2.5 hectares that her son, Jean GALLOIS ran until 1989. Starting from that date, Dominique GALLOIS decided to market the production of bottled wine. Maybe, on day, one of their children Sarah, Martin or Jules, will be the new winemaker.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

In two words  : RESPECT and MODESTY.
We respect our land that many envy. Rational control and hard work are as efficient as the abuse of pesticides and weed-killer.
The quality of the wine depends mainly upon the soil, the age of the vine and the climate.
Lets stay modest, the best of winemakers can not produce a great wine if nature does not help him by providing fine grapes.

THE VINEYARD TODAY
It occupies around 4 hectares, 0.5 hectares of « Bourgogne », 2.2 hectares of « Gevrey-Chambertin village », 1 hectare of « Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru » : Combes aux Moines, Petits Cazetiers, Goulots, et 0,30 hectares de grand Cru « Charmes Chambertin ».

The Burgundy vines planted in 1973 are located in the villages of FIXIN and GEVREY.
- A dozen parcels of "Gevrey-Chambertin Village" appellation, have an average age of 300 years.
- Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru « Les goulots », parcel located on the edge of the woods, was planted in 1974.
- Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru « Les Petits Cazetiers », parcel planted in 1959. The GALLOIS vineyard is the sole winemaker to have this precise appelation, ideally located between "Les Cazetiers" and "La Combe aux Moines".
- Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru « La Combe aux Moines », planted in 1954, thanks to its weak yield and the high quality grapes, this parcel gives a quality harvest every year. Overlooking the "Château de Gevrey", this "Premier Cru" has always been held in high esteem.
- Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, almost 100 years old, this vine has an ideal location south of the "Griottes" and below the "Chambertin".
