Chambertin Grand Cru Appellation

The Chambertin Appellation

The Chambertin appellation is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) produced in the Chambertin climat in Gevrey-Chambertin in the Burgundy region. The origin of Chambertin comes from a peasant named Bertin, who is said to have planted his vines on a plot next to the Clos de Bèze. After this peasant's death, the plot remained named "Champ de Bertin" (Bertin's Field).

The Chambertin appellation benefits from a temperate climate with a slight continental tendency. It is one of the 9 Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits and covers nearly 14.1 hectares of vineyard. Among the domains that produce wine under the Chambertin appellation are Domaine Dugat-Py, Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils and Maison Leroy. The wines of the Chambertin appellation have excellent aging potential.

The best vintages of the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation are: 1928, 1929, 1934, 1937. The vintages 1945, 1947, 1949 and 1952 are excellent. Finally, 1964, 1971, 1976, 1978 and the wines from 1989, 1990, 1996, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2009 are exceptional.
