Gevrey-Chambertin

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Gevrey-Chambertin AOC" Show in wein.plus:places

Village appellation in the Côte de Nuits area of the Burgundy commune of the same name. This borders the municipality of Morey-Saint-Denis to the south. The total vineyard area covers around 500 hectares, including some vineyards in the neighbouring commune of Brochon. In 1847, Gevrey added the name Chambertin to the name of the village, which is the name of the most famous and best location on the Côte d'Or. A Chambertin red wine was also one of Napoleon 's (1769-1821) favourite wines. This is why it is also known as the wine of kings - the king of wines.

Wines

A large part of the vineyards already belonged to the Benedictine monks of Cluny Abbey southeast of Mâcon in the 13th century. The best red wines of Burgundy are produced here, mainly from Pinot Noir with some Pinot Gris and Pinot Liébault (Pinot Noir clone). These wines can be aged for many decades and are usually even darker than many other Burgundy communes.
