GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN

For travellers coming from Dijon, Gevrey-Chambertin is where Bourgogne’s Elysian Fields begin. At the entrance to the hollowed
hill of Lavaux, a château - once a property of the monks of Cluny - resembles a fortified wine-cellar.
The canons of Langres, too, were for a long time guardians of these vineyards which can be dated back to the year 640 AD,
evidence of a long and intimate involvement in the history of Bourgogne’s wine industry. Gevrey-Chambertin forms a kind of
guard of honour to a set of fabulous Grands Crus whose crown jewels are Chambertin and Clos de Bèze. The appellation dates
from September 1936. This appellation includes 26 Premiers Crus climats, along with 9 Grands Crus appellations.
