The History of Gevrey-Chambertin Wine
The history of Gevrey-Chambertin wine stretches back over a thousand years. The village was originally known simply as "Gevrey" until 1847, when it appended the name of its most famous vineyard, Chambertin, to attract prestige. Napoleon Bonaparte was famously devoted to Chambertin, reportedly refusing to drink anything else and even taking barrels on military campaigns. The monks of the Abbey of Cluny first cultivated these vineyards in the 7th century, recognizing the exceptional terroir that makes Gevrey-Chambertin wine so distinctive.
Gevrey-Chambertin Terroir & Climate
The terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin is defined by a gentle east-facing slope at 250-320 metres altitude, with a complex mosaic of limestone, marl, and clay soils. The Grand Cru vineyards sit on a band of Bajocian limestone with thin topsoil, forcing vines to root deeply. This geological diversity is what gives Gevrey-Chambertin wine its remarkable complexity and structure. The famous "combe de Lavaux" — a geological fault — channels cool air across the vineyards, slowing ripening and preserving acidity.
Climate
Continental climate with cold winters and warm, dry summers. The east-facing exposure provides morning sun while protecting vines from harsh afternoon heat. Average annual temperature around 11°C.
Soils
Bajocian limestone with iron-rich clay and marl. Grand Cru sites have thinner topsoil over fractured limestone, while village-level sites have deeper clay soils.
Key Grapes
Pinot Noir

Investing in Gevrey-Chambertin Wine
Gevrey-Chambertin wine, particularly at Grand Cru level, represents one of the strongest wine investment categories. Chambertin and Clos de Bèze from top producers have delivered consistent annual returns of 8-15%. Premier Cru wines from sites like Clos Saint-Jacques offer exceptional value relative to neighbouring Grand Crus, with strong secondary market demand.
How to Buy Gevrey-Chambertin Wine
When buying Gevrey-Chambertin wine, look for established producers with track records of consistency. Grand Cru wines demand patience — most need 10-20 years of cellaring to reach their peak. Premier Cru wines from top sites like Clos Saint-Jacques and Les Cazetiers often rival Grand Cru quality at a fraction of the price. Village-level Gevrey-Chambertin from producers like Fourrier, Rossignol-Trapet, and Heresztyn-Mazzini offer the best entry point to this prestigious appellation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gevrey-Chambertin Wine
What does Gevrey-Chambertin wine taste like?
Gevrey-Chambertin wine is known for its power and structure compared to other Burgundy appellations.
