Chapelle-Chambertin, Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, France
Chapelle-Chambertin is a Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin located on the lower slopes of the Côte de Nuits. The terrain features calcium-rich soil with excellent drainage, creating ideal growing conditions for the Pinot Noir vines planted here.
The vineyard received its present name in the 1800s when neighboring properties were permitted to append Chambertin to their own names. This naming shift reflected the growing recognition of the area's exceptional winemaking reputation.
The name comes from an old chapel that once stood on the vineyard, and producers are proud to reference this heritage on their labels. This connection between the place's history and the wine itself shapes how people understand what they are tasting.
The vineyard sits on gentle slopes that make walking through the area straightforward and accessible. Visitors find that guided visits with local producers offer the best way to see the property and understand how the wine is made.
The property is divided into two distinct sections called La Chapelle and Les Gémeaux, which producers can label separately on their bottles. This division allows winemakers to highlight the specific character of each area.
