"Situated about 10 Km from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the finest viticultural villages of the Côte de Nuits. In 1847 Gevrey-Chambertin was the first village of the Côte d'Or to join the village name with that of one of its Grand Crus - hence 'Gevrey-en-Montagne' became 'Gevrey-Chambertin. Planted only with Pinot Noir, here one finds the complete hierarchy of the Burgundian appellations: to the north, the premiers crus and to the south the grand crus. The village appellations are gathered on the bottom of the slope. The sparse and pebbly limestone-rich brown-red soils give Gevrey-Chambertin wines power and body. A great Côte de Nuits classic!
Our Gevrey-Chambertin reveals aromas of lightly-wooded blackcurrant. On the palate blackcurrant and liquorice blend beautifully and are accompanied by a slight peppery finish, enhanced by silky tannins.
Have it with hare stew, venison and mature cheeses."

"A slightly ripe nose is composed of gamy dark berry, plum, floral and freshly turned earth where the latter element continues onto the bigger and richer though quite supple flavors that enjoy an excellent sense of vibrancy. This is really quite good and a Gevrey villages that has promise. 2025+"
