From Ray Walker:
2011 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru “Les Chaffots” (12.0% alc)
Estimated production: 4 barrels
Situated just above Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru and adjacent to Grand Cru Clos de la Roche on a gradual slope. This vineyard has a very rocky terrain littered with limestone varying from pebble-sized to grapefruit-size. As with “Les Monts Luisants”, both the surrounding Grands Crus decreased the size of the vineyard when expanding their respective limits. The soil here is still wafer thin here, though the soil has a higher clay component, with more water retention and soil density. The average age of the vines is 26 years. The grapes were harvested on August 30th. The wine rested in tank for roughly 10 days after the primary fermentation finished.
