The wines of Gevrey-Chambertin are all red and at their traditional best are powerful, long-lived and fruity in their character but with a touch of finesse. Not many wines of the world can claim that collection of attributes, but sadly the same can be said of Gevrey-Chambertin itself. Even grand crus can be lifeless and ordinary and a great deal of care, and advice, must be taken to search out the best.
