Gevrey-Chambertin, great Pinot Noir from Burgundy and legendary climats
Located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, between Fixin and Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most emblematic appellations for great red wines from Burgundy. Entirely dedicated to Pinot Noir, it produces deep, structured wines sought after for their ageing potential.
Fuller than Chambolle-Musigny and more earthy than Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin embodies a noble and long-lasting expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Its renowned Premier Crus and nine historic Grands Crus make it an essential appellation for lovers of red Burgundy with character.
Gevrey-Chambertin expresses one of the deepest facets of Burgundy Pinot Noir: wines of structure, energy and precision, capable of gaining complexity with time.

A distinctive style: depth, structure and energy
Gevrey-Chambertin wines are known for their intensity and architecture. They often reveal aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, gentle spices and liquorice, supported by a broad, firm and persistent palate.
In their youth, the finest wines can be firm and concentrated. With age, they gain harmony and develop notes of forest floor, truffle, fine leather, humus, dried flowers and spice. This slow evolution is what makes Gevrey-Chambertin one of the great cellar appellations of the Côte de Nuits.
Terroir and climats
The Gevrey-Chambertin vineyard rests on a mosaic of clay-limestone soils, marl, gravel and scree. This diversity explains the richness of styles, from finer and more slender wines to the most powerful and profound expressions.
The appellation includes many climats, several of them major Premier Crus. The Grands Crus located south of the village, around Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, produce some of Burgundy’s most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir wines.
