The village was previously called just Gevrey, but in 1847 it was allowed to add Chambertin, its most famous vineyard and wine, to its name. |
It contains three bottles of excellent Chambertin, which it would be a pity to break. |
Dubourg and Frossard took their places, and Chambertin watched them play, although he did not understand the game at all. |
Then it was that the Chambertin or the clos Vougeot came in, slumbering in its straw cradle. |
Look up the recipe for coq au vin in Larousse and it advises using a Chambertin or a Mercurey. |
However, Pinot Noir grown outside of Burgundy often tastes delicious, but it just doesn't taste much like Volnay or Chambertin. |
