Good to Know: Gevrey wines, in their youthful brilliance, exhibit a vibrant ruby hue that transforms into a deep carmine as they age. When young, the spontaneous fragrance of these wines is a symphony of strawberry, blackberry, violet, mignonette, and rose. Aging only deepens their complexity, adding accents of gamey undergrowth to their bouquet and a dash of licorice. Whole and robust, the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation impresses with its firm structure, velvety tannins, and a richness that never fades. Enjoyed young or aged, the wine's true distinction lies in its longevity, making it a fitting selection for exploring various vintages.

Pairing well with saucy meats, some connoisseurs often serve Gevrey-Chambertin with pike perch fillet or tuna in a red wine sauce.
Historically, the term 'Gevrey' translates to 'goatherds', indicating that this region was once known for goat farming by the Gauls. However, the modern-day preference leans towards cultivating lush vineyards.
