The commune of Gevrey-Chambertin is known, not without exaggeration, as the heart of the Côte de Nuits. It is home to nine Grand Cru vineyards, including the legendary Griotte-Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin, whose chalky, iron-rich soils impart powerful aromas of black cherries, truffles, and tobacco to the local Pinot Noirs. These wines are powerful, structured, and often require decades to reach their full potential.
Pinot Noir from Burgundy is considered the king of red wines: delicate, yet profoundly complex. The chalky soils and cool climate produce wines characterized by red berries, violets, undergrowth, and a subtle spiciness. Whether from the Côte de Nuits (powerful, long-lived) or the Côte de Beaune (elegant, silky), Burgundy Pinot Noir enchants with its finesse, silky tannins, and unforgettable length.
