About this Wine
This isn’t a Gevrey that tiptoes in politely! It bursts through the door with blackberries, blackcurrants and spice in full surround sound. There’s real grip here, but it’s all wrapped in velvet – firm, elegant, and impeccably balanced. Young, yes, but already strutting like a seasoned performer. One for your greatest hits list.

Tasting Notes
The favourite wine of Napoleon? We can see why... Wine in surround sound - blackberries, spice, and swagger.
Napoleon’s Pick. Old-School Power, New-School Poise.
The moment you pour, it’s like surround sound in a glass—blackberries, cherries, and blackcurrant burst forward in technicolour. Then comes the spice: pepper, vanilla, a flicker of liquorice. It's bold, it’s brooding, but somehow still walks with elegance, like a general in full regalia who also knows how to dance.
There’s structure and energy here, with tannins that are firm but impeccably polite. The finish? Earth, mushroom, and minerality that keep echoing long after your last sip. It’s the kind of bottle that makes you want to sit a little straighter and pour a little slower.
📍 The Place
Crafted by Ludivine Griveau for Pierre Mayeul, this wine hails from vines rooted deep in the limestone and clay of Gevrey’s storied slopes. A name etched into Burgundian history and yes, the favourite village of one Napoleon Bonaparte. Gevrey-Chambertin is known for power with finesse, this 2021 vintage carries the torch beautifully.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
