Which is a Grand Cru example in Gevrey-Chambertin?

• A. Bourgogne
• B. Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques
• C. Gevrey-Chambertin
• D. Le Chambertin

Answer: (D)

Grand Cru is the highest category for vineyard sites in Burgundy, signaling a specific, exceptional terroir recognized for producing very aged, concentrated wines. In Gevrey-Chambertin, Le Chambertin is one of the named Grand Cru vineyards, so a wine labeled Le Chambertin comes from that specific Grand Cru site and carries the prestige and characteristics of that designation. Clos Saint-Jacques, by contrast, is classified as Premier Cru, not Grand Cru, so it isn’t the correct example. A Gevrey-Chambertin labeled wine generally refers to village-level production from the Gevrey-Chambertin area and is not tied to a Grand Cru site. Bourgogne is a broad regional label and certainly not a Grand Cru. So Le Chambertin best fits as the Grand Cru example in Gevrey-Chambertin.
