Gevrey-Chambertin

Burgundy · France · Wine Auction Prices

Gevrey-Chambertin is Burgundy's most voluminous grand cru village and the heartland of powerful Pinot Noir. With 7,500+ lots at auction averaging $342 per bottle, Gevrey spans the full quality spectrum: from village and premier cru wines under $100 to Chambertin and Clos de Bèze from Rousseau, Leroy, or DRC routinely surpassing $1,500. The village claims nine grands crus — more than any other single commune — including Chambertin, the vineyard Napoleon reportedly loved and the reference for Pinot Noir's power and longevity. Armand Rousseau dominates the auction hierarchy: his Chambertin and Clos Saint-Jacques are among the most actively traded Burgundy wines globally. The Clos Saint-Jacques premier cru, a de facto grand cru in quality, consistently trades above $500 per bottle. Gevrey's complexity is geological: brown soils over Premeaux limestone in the upper slope; richer, heavier clay on the lower slope; and a pronounced fault that creates the 'combe' zone behind the village. The combination of site diversity and the quality of producers — Trapet, Bachelet, Rossignol-Trapet, Denis Mortet — makes Gevrey the most versatile buying target in all Burgundy.
