Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand Description
Originally from the Loire, Jérôme does not come from a winemaking family. He worked for eight years in the food industry. Then, after harvesting for a couple of years at Domaine Alain Burguet in Gevrey-Chambertin as of 1996, became inspired and motivated to embark on his own estate project, and so enrolled at the wine institute in Beaune. In 2002, he bought his first vineyard plot (a miniscule 0.05 hectares!) and carried out his own vinification that September. Since then, Jérôme expanded the holdings to five hectares of vines and harvests every year with a group of well-trained friends.
Vinification takes place in a small winery at his home. His goal is terroir transparency. Jérôme’s wines are precise, refined and elegant, beautifully perfumed, positively delicious. He produces roughly 2,000 cases a year, based on vintage conditions, of course.
Old Vines with an average age of 60 years (as of 2021). Located from Culles-les-Roches in the Côte Chalonnaise, between Buxy and Montagny, on pink granite.
Vinous: 89 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Le Cran emerges from 60+ year-old vines planted on granite in the Côte Chalonnaise. White pepper, mint, lemon confit, herbs and crushed rocks all run through this striking, super-expressive Aligoté. There's a ton of character here.
