Jérôme Galeyrand: Quiet Tones from Burgundy

Jérôme Galeyrand is one of the exciting winemakers of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. His winery is located in Gevrey Chambertin, from where he cultivates various small vineyards in renowned appellations. The focus is primarily on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as the most precise expression possible of the individual sites. Those who discover Jérôme Galeyrand's wines will find Burgundy not on its loud, opulent side, but elegant, fresh, and surprisingly accessible.

Jérôme Galeyrand and his winery in Burgundy

Jérôme Galeyrand's path to his own winery began in the late 1990s. After initial experiences in viticulture, he gradually built up his own domaine. Today, his wines are produced from small parcels on the Côte de Nuits, including around Gevrey Chambertin, Morey Saint Denis, and Marsannay. Old vines, different soils, and individual work with each parcel play a central role.

In the vineyard, Galeyrand works with a lot of manual labor and a clear focus on healthy soils and vines. He also deliberately holds back in the cellar. Instead of pushing his Burgundies in a certain direction with a lot of wood or extraction, he wants to let the origin of the grapes speak for itself. This is precisely what makes Jérôme Galeyrand's style so interesting.

What do Jérôme Galeyrand's wines taste like?

Above all, Jérôme Galeyrand's Pinot Noirs beautifully demonstrate what modern, terroir-driven Burgundy can stand for. They combine red fruit with floral and spicy notes, fine acidity, and a cool, mineral tension. The wines appear elegant and precise, but at the same time possess enough depth and structure to develop over years. His Chardonnay wines follow a similar philosophy and focus more on freshness, clarity, and tension than on richness.

It is precisely this balance that makes Jérôme Galeyrand so exciting for Burgundy fans. His wines show that great Pinot Noir doesn't have to be loud. They thrive on fine nuances, origin, and a drinkability that usually means the second glass is poured faster than planned.
