Gevrey-Chambertin, situated in the far north of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, is renowned for producing some of the world's best Pinot Noir wines. The classic style of Gevrey-Chambertin is characterized by its deep colour, firm body, and tannic structure, making it stand out among red Burgundy wines. Despite a history of underperformers, Gevrey-Chambertin's overall quality has improved significantly, producing some of the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world.

One example of this is the Richard Seguin Gevrey Chambertin Magnum 1.5L 2016, a high-quality wine that comes in a magnum-sized bottle. Magnum bottles hold 1.5 litres of wine, twice the amount of a standard wine bottle. This larger bottle size has several benefits, including slower aging due to the smaller ratio of oxygen to wine, which can help preserve the wine's quality for a longer time.

The magnum bottle size also adds to the wine's appearance, making it more impressive and elegant, and it's a popular choice for special occasions or as a gift. The Richard Seguin Gevrey Chambertin Magnum 1.5L 2016 is an excellent example of a Gevrey-Chambertin wine that will impress any wine enthusiast with its rich flavours, complexity, and remarkable aging potential.
