Chambertin Grand Cru — The King of the Côte de Nuits

An icon of Burgundy’s greatness, Chambertin Grand Cru ranks among the most prestigious and sought-after wines of the Côte de Nuits. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, it captures the essence of Gevrey’s terroir — a rare harmony of power, complexity and longevity, expressed with unmatched grace.

A Legendary Terroir

Bordered by Chambertin-Clos de Bèze to the north and Latricières-Chambertin to the south, the vineyard faces southeast on limestone-clay soils enriched with marl and gravel. This setting ensures excellent drainage and even ripening, yielding wines of depth, precision and breathtaking aromatic intensity — often cited as one of the most complete expressions of Pinot Noir in Burgundy.

Style & Character

Chambertin is defined by firm yet refined tannins, remarkable balance and extraordinary aromatic complexity. The bouquet layers black cherry, cassis, violet, truffle, leather and sweet spice, evolving toward tobacco, forest floor and dried flowers. On the palate, a velvety texture, vibrant acidity and a long, noble finish unite strength with finesse.
