Gevrey-Chambertin Tasting: A Journey into the Heart of Burgundy
Wine Terroir Import, in collaboration with AIS Lombardia, presents an outstanding wine experience dedicated to the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin. On 28 February 2025, at the AIS headquarters in Monza, we will have the honour of welcoming Laurent Trapet-Rochelandet, a renowned Gevrey-Chambertin producer, for an exclusive tasting of his fine Village and Premier Cru wines, as well as a Grand Cru.
The Terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin
Gevrey-Chambertin, located in the Côte de Nuits, is renowned for producing some of the most structured and long-lived Pinot Noir wines in Burgundy. Its unique terroir is characterised by limestone soils with a significant proportion of clay, often rich in marine fossils. This geological make-up, combined with the south-east exposure of the finest vineyards, gives the wines a distinctive aromatic complexity and tannic structure.
The appellation boasts no fewer than 9 Grand Cru vineyards, including the celebrated Chambertin, and 26 Premier Cru sites. This diversity of terroir within a single appellation translates into wines that, while retaining the unmistakable signature of Gevrey, express the unique nuances of each individual parcel. Gevrey-Chambertin wines typically show aromas of red fruit, spice and forest floor, with a substantial tannic structure that ensures excellent ageing potential.
