Being located on the "wrong side" of the D974 would suggest "La Justice" should be of little interest. However, a fault line of limestone runs directly through the vineyard. That, combined with sandy topsoil, allows for great drainage, which makes this one the best non-premier cru vineyards in all of Gevrey.
91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "La Justice is one of my favorite villages level vineyards in all of Gevrey and Monsieur Felettig has made an excellent example of this fine terroir in 2016. The bouquet is pure and sappy, offering up scents of red plums, red and black cherries, cocoa, a fine base of dark soil tones, mustard seed and a nice touch of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very transparent in profile, with a sappy core, suave tannins and a long, poised and quite vibrant finish. This is a beautiful village wine in the making. 2023-2060. (Mar/Apr 2018)"
