Tasting notes
Our Gevrey-Chambertin 2016 has a dark colour with garnet lights. With an intense nose, this wine reveals earthy notes with subtle touch of cherry and cinnamon. The palate is long and harmonizes with elegance, pepper, coffee and black fruit aromas. We note very nice tannins giving to this wine a beautiful persistence.
Description
Situated about 10 Km from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the finest viticultural villages of the Cote de Nuits. In 1847 Gevrey-Chambertin was the first village of the Cote d'Or to join the village name with that of one of its Grand Crus - hence 'Gevrey-en-Montagne' became Gevrey-Chambertin. Planted only with Pinot Noir, here one finds the complete hierarchy of the Burgundian appellations: to the north, the premiers crus and to the south the grand crus. The village appellations are gathered on the bottom of the slope. The sparse and pebbly limestonerich brown-red soils give Gevrey-Chambertin wines power and body. A great Cote de Nuits classic!
