The wine region of Gevrey-Chambertin
The Champs-Élysées of Burgundy in the Côte de Nuits: signature Pinot Noir reigns exclusively in reds — intense ruby with carmine glints, complete and structured with strawberry, cherry, blackberry, violet and a liquorice touch, undergrowth and dried fruit on ageing, firm yet silky tannins marrying power and elegance. More robust than its Côte de Beaune neighbours. Village AOC (1936) over Gevrey and Brochon, 26 Premiers Crus and 9 Grands Crus including legendary Chambertin and Clos de Bèze.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
