Gevrey-Chambertin is a commune rich in Grand Crus. These can be roughly divided into two categories, the lower ones, which include the Chapelle-Chambertin, are considered to be the more tender and red-berry, while the upper ones are stronger and darker in fruit.

The Name

The name comes from a chapel built here in 1165 by monks from the Abbey of Bèze. In 1830, however, this had to give way to the vines.

The Terroir

Located mid-slope facing east, south of Gevrey-Chambertin, this terroir consists of limestone scree soil covered with a thin layer of clay on the surface.

From Les Parcellaires de Saulx there was a small amount of Chapelle-Chambertin in 2019, which combines the fullness and concentration of the vintage with the enchanting elegance of this Grand Cru location. This treasure was aged in barriques for fifteen months.
