Gevrey-Chambertin comes from one of the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Nuits, in the northern part of the region. The village was mentioned as early as 630 under the name “Gibriacus” and its history is closely linked to Pinot Noir. According to tradition, a winegrower named Bertin planted vines here, inspired by the practices of neighbouring monks. The exceptional quality of the wine produced from his “field of Bertin” earned widespread recognition and eventually contributed to the name Chambertin. The shallow, lean red-brown soils produce a Pinot Noir of great character, combining intensity, structure, depth and elegance.

Appearance: Beautiful, clear, vivid and brilliant ruby red.

Nose: Intensely fruity and characteristic of the appellation, with aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and a delicate touch of liquorice. With age, the wine gains complexity, developing nuances of spice, nutmeg, leather, mushroom and forest floor.

Palate: Structured and harmonious, with present yet beautifully integrated tannins, supported by freshness and a generous texture. The finish is long and balanced, with an elegant return of dark fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: Ideal with roast beef, duck breast, venison fillet, pigeon, game, mushroom-based dishes or mature cheeses.
