Origins

Gevrey Chambertin is located in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits.

It is one of Burgundy's largest wine-making areas. The appellation is harvested in the villages of Gevrey and Brochon which also produce Côte de Nuits-Villages. Along with Pommard, Gevrey Chambertin is one of the world's most famous vineyards because it has the largest number of Grand Crus in all of Burgundy: Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Chapelle Chambertin, Charmes Chambertin,  Mazoyères Chambertin, Griotte Chambertin, Latricières Chambertin, Mazis Chambertin and Ruchottes Chambertin.

The Cluny monks started growing vines here in 640 on the village hillsides. The current average harvest is around 20,000 hectolitres.
