The appellation zone, created in 1936, covers an area of over 400 hectares and is divided into three distinct appellations: Gevrey Chambertin Villages, Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru and Gevrey Chambertin Grand Cru, producing over 16,000 Hectolitres a year.

A record number of prestigious wines in Burgundy

To the south of the La Combe Lavaux nature reserve, these include the Ruchottes, Mazis, Clos de Bèze, Mazoyères, Latricières, Chapelle, Charmes, Griotte and Chambertin appellations.

A fine, powerful character

Gevrey Chambertin wines are powerfully colored red wines made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. Although pleasant to drink young, Gevrey Chambertin wines are above all wines for laying down, and very often for laying down with the Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. Primary notes of red fruits such as raspberry, blackberry, wild strawberry and blackcurrant fade with age, evolving into a complex aroma of candied and dried fruit, with hints of leather, liquorice and mushroom. Aging in oak barrels for 18 months lends this power to Gevrey Chambertin wines.

Complex terroirs for structured wines

The limestone and marl soils, rich in clay sediments and fossilized shells, give the wines of theAOC appellation elegance and finesse with exceptional firmness and body. The Côte d'Or's semi-continental climate, with oceanic and Mediterranean influences, gives the wine an inimitable aromatic subtlety.

Gevrey Chambertin, the gourmet beverage

Advanced ageing wines should be decanted and served at a temperature of 15 to 16 degrees. Chambertin's imposing stature and powerful palate make it a carnivorous wine that goes perfectly with game birds or game hairs. A pheasant salmi or wild boar civet will be sublimated by a wine that's a perfect match. grand vin de Gevrey Chambertin. It also goes very well with a platter of cow's or goat's cheeses.
