The name Chambertin has been in use since the 13th century. History has it that a winegrower named Bertin planted the same variety of grapes in his field as his illustrious neighbour who owned the Clos de Bèze vineyard. The wines were perfect and the owner called his vineyard "Le Champ de Bertin" (Bertin's Field) which later became "Chambertin". Since then this appellation which was Napoleon's favourite gained such fame that the village of Gevrey came to be known as Gevrey-Chambertin.
Our plot is located in the upper part of the Climat on a gentle slope where the soil contains a rather high proportion of marls. The grapes here ripen later in comparison to our estate's other plots. It is therefore among the last to be harvested.
