Histoire du domaine
The Harmand-Geoffroy estate is a family-run business established in Gevrey-Chambertin since the late 19th century. It originated from the family-run Lucien Geoffroy et Fils estate, which was taken over in 1989 by Gérard Harmand and his wife. Under their management, the estate has expanded to cover 9 hectares. The vineyard is planted entirely with Pinot Noir and is situated exclusively within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. It comprises regional and commune appellations, several Premier Crus, as well as a plot of Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru. Philippe Harmand gradually took over the running of the estate from the mid-2000s. He represents the fifth generation of the family and oversees both vineyard management and winemaking. The viticultural practices outlined by the estate and local organisations are based, in particular, on soil cultivation without the use of chemical weedkillers, and on integrated pest management.
Mazis-Chambertin
Mazis-Chambertin is a Grand Cru appellation corresponding to a physically demarcated terroir in Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Les Mazis-Hauts and Les Mazis-Bas. Located on the foothills on a slight plateau facing east, it extends Clos de Bèze to the north and features a slightly concave topography. Its superficial, carbonate, clayey soils rich in iron oxides overlie a Jurassic marl-limestone substrate ensuring efficient drainage and regulated water supply.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climat is attested in the 18th century: Abbot Courtépée cited the "Mazy" among the renowned climats in 1774. In 1855, Doctor Lavalle distinguished the upper part as "1ère cuvée" and the lower part as "2ème cuvée". A judgment by the Dijon tribunal in 1931 recognized the Mazis-Chambertin appellation of origin and established its boundaries; the AOC was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
