Gevrey-Chambertin Wine
Gevrey-Chambertin is a village in the Cote de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy, home to some of the world’s most prestigious (and correspondingly expensive) red wines. Apart from its own Gevrey-Chambertin village appellation, the parish lays claim to twenty-six Premier Cru and nine Grand Cru climats.
Gevrey-Chambertin wines are exclusively red, and made predominantly from Pinot Noir grapes. Widely regarded as being the most full-bodied and masculine of the region, the village’s wines have a particular intensity of color and rich, deep flavors which have earned Gevrey the title ‘King’ of Burgundy (the title of ‘Queen’ going to nearby Chambolle-Musigny). The distinguishing feature of these wines is their intensity, longevity and a distinctive gamey note not found in the wine of any other commune. Originally called just Gevrey, in 1847 the parish council added the name of their most prestigious vineyard Le Chambertin, to that of the village. This started a trend which ran the length of the Cote d’Or’s wine-producing villages, right down to Chassagne-Montrachet in the south. There are eleven Cote d’Or villages with a prestigious vineyard name appended to that of the village. (© Proprietary Content, Wine-Searcher)
The vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin are divided reasonably neatly into three sections. These are dictated largely by variations in terroir, and the corresponding land classifications awarded by INAO – the government body responsible for the France’s appellation system. Overall the terroir here is characterized by a marginal continental climate and soils composed of red loam over marlstone and limestone sub-strata.
To the south of the village, on the mid-slopes of the Cote d’Or, are the Grand Crus. These nine distinct climats, each with their own appellation, occupy a belt 1640ft (500m) wide between the village itself and the commune boundary with neighboring Morey-Saint-Denis. They produce the commune’s most expensive wines and like the village itself, each of them has had the prestigious Chambertin name appended to its own.
To the west of the village, on the highest sites (between 820ft/250m and 1150ft/350m ), are the majority of the Premier Crus; there are also a few of these sites sandwiched between the Grand Cru sites and the village.
To the east and north of the village are the swathes of village level vineyards, which produce more wine every year than almost any other Cote d’Or commune. From 1075 acres (435 hectares) of village and Premier Cru vineyards, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation produces well over two million bottles of wine per vintage.
