Powerful structured red wines from the Côte de Nuits.
The wine
Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the jewels of the Côte de Nuits, once called "Napoleon's friend". The largest village on the slope hosts nine Grands Crus — Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin... — plus many Premiers Crus. Pinot noir reds reach exemplary structure and longevity. Deep and fleshy, with red and dark fruit (morello, blackberry), spice, undergrowth and rose, they age twenty to fifty years for top crus. The soils mix Jurassic limestone, marl and loam, each with a nuance. Pair with game, bœuf bourguignon, meats in sauce and aged cheeses like Burgundian Époisses.
