2017 Domaine Chantal Remy Chambertin Grand Cru

France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Rouge

Gevrey-Chambertin Chambertin Grand Cru Rouge from Domaine Chantal Remy, formerly known as Domaine Louis Remy. Older vintages released under the title Héritière Louis Remy.

Le Chambertin is the most important Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the northernmost wine villages in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits.
The vineyard produces exclusively red wines made from Pinot Noir, which rank among the world's very finest.
It is easily one of the Côte d'Or's most prestigious, challenged only by the Romanée-Conti and Montrachet Grand Crus.

Classic Chambertin wine has a rich ruby color (fading to brick-red with age) and a deeply perfumed nose of plums, red cherries, earth and sweet spice.

Napoleon famously drank Chambertin wine, even during his military campaigns abroad. He consumed it daily, diluted with water, from bottles embossed with the letter N.
