Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Nuits, located north of Morey-Saint-Denis and widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s great Pinot Noir appellations. The village is home to an exceptional concentration of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
The vineyards lie on a complex mix of limestone, marl and clay-rich soils, with differences in altitude, slope and geology creating distinct expressions from individual climats. The finest sites benefit from excellent drainage and favourable exposures that allow Pinot Noir to ripen slowly while retaining freshness.
Gevrey-Chambertin is traditionally associated with a powerful yet elegant style of Pinot Noir. Wines typically show black cherry, red cherry, raspberry, violet and dark plum, with notes of spice, earth and savoury complexity developing with age.
Compared with the more delicate and floral style of Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin generally offers greater structure, depth and concentration, while retaining Burgundy’s characteristic finesse. Its wines can combine firm tannins and mineral tension with remarkable aromatic elegance.
The village includes some of Burgundy’s most famous Grand Cru vineyards, including Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin. These historic vineyards are central to Gevrey’s reputation as one of the Côte de Nuits’ great terroirs.
Gevrey-Chambertin represents the powerful side of Burgundy Pinot Noir — structured, mineral and deeply expressive, yet capable of remarkable elegance and complexity with age.

2024 was a challenging but promising vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, marked by a wet growing season, frost and reduced yields. Careful vineyard work and strict selection were particularly important, while the warmer and drier conditions towards harvest helped Pinot Noir reach good maturity without losing its natural freshness.
The wines show bright red and black cherry, raspberry, violet and delicate spice, with a fresh, mineral character. The palate is energetic and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins and a savoury finish.
Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is more restrained and linear, placing greater emphasis on freshness, aromatic precision and finesse rather than concentration and power.
