Chambertin is a French appellation and a Grand Cru vineyard located in Burgundy, more precisely in the Côte de Nuits (Côte d'Or) wine region. The designation produces red wines that are mostly varietal and based on Pinot Noir.
They typically display complex aromas of red and dark fruit that are often complemented by smoky notes of spices and licorice, as well as subtle herbal and floral nuances. Often praised as one of the best expressions of Burgundy region, these full-bodied and powerful red wines are a perfect match to game, but they can also work well with lamb, poultry, or beef, preferably served in rich wine-infused sauces.
The regulations also allow some wines from the neighboring Chambertin-Clos de Bèze to be labeled as Chambertin.
