Gevrey-Chambertin is the most celebrated village appellation on the Côte de Nuits, home to nine Grand Crus including the legendary Chambertin. Joseph Drouhin's village-level Gevrey-Chambertin is a benchmark expression of this prestigious appellation, sourced from carefully selected parcels.
Deep ruby colour with a complex nose of dark cherry, blackcurrant, violet, and a characteristic earthy, spiced character. On the palate, firm yet elegant tannins with a rich, full-bodied structure and a long, persistent finish. A serious, age-worthy Gevrey with all the hallmarks of this great terroir.
