🏞️ The different sites (crus)
Depending on the origin of the grapes, wines with this label can have different quality levels. The following variants appear in the search results:
Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru: A specific vineyard classified as a Premier Cru. One such lot was auctioned at Sotheby's in 2022.
Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru: Another high-quality premier cru vineyard, also bottled by Mommessin.
Gevrey-Chambertin (without vineyard name): A "simple" communal wine, as found in various auction lots .
🍷 Condition and auction value
For a wine over 50 years old, condition and origin are decisive.
Fill level:Auction catalogues often state the fill level (e.g. "base of neck", "4cms below cork"), which gives an indication of storage .
Labels: The labels of wines of this age are often browned or damaged ("bin-soiled") , but this usually only minimally reduces the collector's value.
Price examples:
Please note: The prices quoted are historical auction results and may vary considerably today. The actual value depends heavily on the specific site (1er Cru or not), the provenance and the current condition of the bottle.
