Domaine Olivier Bernstein is a small, quality-obsessed négoçiant-domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin that sources fruit from a carefully selected portfolio of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards and vinifies it with the most meticulous attention to low-intervention winemaking and site expression. Bernstein’s background in the design and luxury goods worlds has informed his approach to both the wine and the presentation, and his wines have attracted significant critical attention from Vinous and Wine Advocate since their first releases, confirming the quality and precision of his approach to Grand Cru and Premier Cru Gevrey-Chambertin. Les Champeaux is a 6.77-hectare Premier Cru on the mid-slope of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest hillside, producing Pinot Noir of excellent structure, dark fruit character and mineral depth that distinguishes it from the more immediately perfumed Chambolle-Musigny style, reflecting Gevrey’s characteristic combination of power and spice alongside its finest aromatic complexity.

The 2019 Burgundy vintage was one of the finest of the decade for red wines across the Côte de Nuits, combining exceptional aromatic richness with a structural depth and natural balance that multiple critics have described as placing this vintage among the finest produced in the appellation since the legendary 2015 and 2010. For a meticulously sourced and carefully vinified Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru from this vintage, the combination of the exceptional year and Bernstein’s exacting standards should produce a wine of outstanding aromatic complexity and long-term ageing potential. The original wooden case of three bottles provides the ideal cellar storage format for a wine of this ageing ambition.

Olivier Bernstein’s Les Champeaux, in the outstanding 2019 vintage, is a wine that deserves a prominent place in any serious Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru collection. The combination of exceptional sourcing, meticulous winemaking and an outstanding vintage creates the conditions for a wine of genuine Premier Cru authority and considerable development potential over the next two decades.

Deep ruby with a complex and detailed nose of dark cherry, violet, dried rose, iron mineral, spice, tobacco and the distinctive firm, structured mineral character of Gevrey-Chambertin’s mid-slope Premier Cru limestone terroir. Full-bodied with excellent tannin structure, vibrant natural acidity and a very long, mineral, complex finish. Best from 2026 through 2042.
