Gevrey-Chamberton
Gevrey-Chambertin [zhuh-VRAY shahm-behr-TAN], the largest commune in the Côte de Nuits, produces red wines ranging from the elegant style, with refined red-fruit flavors, soft tannins and a velvety smooth texture, to the highly concentrated style of red. Powerful red- and dark-fruit flavors and firm tannins are found in the Premier and Grand Cru appellations. The wines, with their complexities of earthiness, smoke and spice, beautifully reflect the soils and climate where they are grown.
