Gevrey-Chambertin, located in the northern part of the Burgundy Côte d'Or, is known as the foremost village in wine production. With its unique location in the far northern region of the Côtes de Nuits, this wine area stands out for its classic style, characterized by deeper color, firmer body, and richer tannins than most red Burgundies.

In the past, Gevrey-Chambertin struggled with underperforming wines, but today the overall quality is at its peak. It has the potential to become one of the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noirs in the world. Discover the characteristics of this unique wine region, where tradition and quality come together.

A characteristic Gevrey-Chambertin reveals a bright ruby red color in its youth, evolving over time to a deep dark cerise. Strawberry, mulberry, violet, and rose combine to create a bouquet of beautiful aromas. As the wine matures, notes of licorice, leather, and fur emerge, accompanied by game-like nuances and subtle hints of underbrush.

On the palate, Gevrey-Chambertin impresses with its robust structure, silky tannins, and refined texture. These wines embody everything an excellent Burgundy should be: full, powerful, rich, and meaty. While they can be enjoyable when young, they are primarily meant to age, often for extended periods. Discover the timeless elegance of Gevrey-Chambertin and use these wines as the perfect basis for comparing different vintages.
