Chambertin


A grand cru of Gevrey-Chambertin, regarded together with Clos de Bèze as the qualitative summit of the appellation. Pinot Noir reaches power, depth and remarkable longevity here, on well-exposed clay-limestone soils. Reputedly Napoleon's favourite wine, this emblematic cru of the Côte de Nuits ranks among the essential references of great wine lists.
