For many wine lovers, Gevery-Chambertin is the most iconic village of Burgundy, as it is home to one of the region's oldest vineyard sites, dating back to the 6th century. Protected by the hill of Saint-Jacques, the extraordinary vineyards here (including a region-leading nine grand crus) produce Burgundy's most powerful, deep-bodied and age-worthy wines. Old vines give the Roche de Bellene villages bottling an extra dimension of vinosity and sap.

This perfumed style features smoky cherry, raspberry and mineral flavors. A stiff backbone of tannins provides support while the acidity keeps this lively and focused on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2038.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers up aromas of smoked meats, dark berry fruit and incense, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and tangy palate, with its generous core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a carnal finish.
