📜 Gevrey-Chambertin
A famous Côte de Nuits village with nine red grands crus from Pinot Noir.
Gevrey-Chambertin is a famous village in the Côte de Nuits, part of Burgundy in eastern France. Red wines are made here from Pinot Noir. The appellation name is protected: it is a PDO, a protected designation of origin.
The village's special feature is its nine grands crus. This is the top step of the Burgundy classification, individual sites with the highest reputation. They include Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Below them come premiers crus and village wines labelled Gevrey-Chambertin.
Wines of this place are made still, meaning not sparkling, and mostly red. They are usually full-bodied, with dark fruit, keep well and develop over the years. It is one of the best-known red appellations of the region, alongside neighbouring Côte de Nuits villages.
For buyers, the label matters: plain Gevrey-Chambertin is village level, while a grand cru is named separately.
