Additional Info

In most years, this village wine goes simply by Gevrey-Chambertin, but in the 2013 vintage Jérôme made a special label, "Cuvée Léon," in honor of the birth of his second son. (He did the same in 2009 with his Morey-St.-Denis for his first son, Gabin, and in 2016 with his Chambolle-Musigny for his daughter Jeanne.)
