This very small vineyard (less than 3 hectares- 7.5 acres), in the shape of a square, is completely surrounded by the other Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin. A remarkable wine is produced here. The name 'Griotte' may recall the Morello cherry (a sort of wild or sour cherry used in cooking or preserves), which is part of the aromas often found in the nose of this wine. But in fact, Griotte comes from Criots (as in Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet) which has the same origin as the word Craie (chalk in French). An interesting case where etymology sheds light on the geology.
