Gevrey-Chambertin wine is produced in the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin and Brochon in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy. The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Gevrey-Chambertin may be used only for red wine with Pinot noir as the main grape variety. There are nine Grand Cru vineyards within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin and eight others called Chambertin in combination with something else, such as Chapelle-Chambertin. While Gevrey-Chambertin also has several highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards, it has a particularly large amount of vineyards at the village level for a Côte de Nuits appellation. This is because the vineyards of the AOC stretch further to the east (beyond the N74 road) than in most neighbouring AOCs.

From the top part of Cazetiers. Frédéric Weber likes to pick quite quickly to avoid figging on the meagre soil. 50% whole bunch. Rich purple colour. Good density of fruit is immediately apparent on the nose. Lively on the palate, a sumptuous coating of pure red fruit with a little touch of white pepper to offset the weight of fruit. Attractive lingering finish.
