Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey Chambertin
Video Summary
Gevrey-Chambertin is at the foot of the Combe de Lavaux, a small valley which is known for bringing in cool air that keeps the vines healthy and contributes to slow ripening. Gevrey-Chambertin was Napoleon's favorite wine. The Count of Las Cases, whose collection of memoirs recounting his interaction with Napoleon, noted that, “for fifteen years the Emperor constantly drank the same wine, which he liked and which we believed was good for him”.
