Gevrey-Chambertin, great Burgundy Pinot Noir wines and legendary climats
Located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, between Fixin and Morey-Saint-Denis, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation is one of the key references for great red wines from Burgundy. Entirely devoted to Pinot Noir, it is renowned for producing deep, structured wines built for ageing.
Broader and more earthy than Chambolle-Musigny, more powerful than Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin embodies a noble and enduring expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Its nine Grands Crus, including Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin, express the depth, precision and longevity of the appellation.
Gevrey-Chambertin expresses one of the deepest and most structured facets of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Its wines combine density, precision, mineral energy, noble tannins and a remarkable ability to evolve in great vintages.

A distinctive style: depth, structure and energy
Gevrey-Chambertin red wines stand out for their assertive personality, where power remains framed by terroir precision. They generally offer a firm and noble tannic structure, aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, spices and liquorice, as well as a deep, straight and persistent palate.
In their youth, the best Gevrey-Chambertin wines can be intense, reserved and sometimes firm. With time, they gain harmony and develop notes of undergrowth, truffle, fine leather, humus, sweet spices and dried flowers.
Terroir and climats
The Gevrey-Chambertin vineyard is based mainly on clay-limestone soils, marked by a diversity of limestone, marl, gravel and scree depending on the sector. Well-exposed slopes encourage regular ripening of Pinot Noir, while soil composition gives the wines their depth, tension and tannic architecture.
The diversity of climats plays an essential role in the identity of the appellation. The Grands Crus located south of the village, around Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, produce some of the most complete and longest-lived wines in Burgundy.
