Gevrey-Chambertin — Land of Great Pinot Noir

At the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, between Fixin and Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin stands as a benchmark for age-worthy Pinot Noir. Broad and renowned, the appellation blends natural power, layered aromatics and a mineral identity from its limestone-clay slopes.

Terroir & Geology

Well-exposed hillsides, a limestone backbone capped with richer clays and a temperate climate promote optimal ripening. Wines show firm tannin structure, vibrant energy and notable length, with notes of dark fruit, violet, forest floor and, with age, truffle.

The 9 Grands Crus

A Legendary Premier Cru

Among the Premiers Crus, Clos Saint-Jacques stands out for finesse and depth — frequently on par with the finest Grands Crus.

Style & Cellaring Potential

Gevrey-Chambertin wines combine noble power, striking complexity and a tannic frame built to age. With time, textures turn velvety and the bouquet gains nuance — forest floor, truffle and gentle spice.
