The wine that Napoleon loved. 🍷
Not my favourite specimen of humanity, but even fanatical tyrants can have good taste in wine.
Gevrey-Chambertin is of course cheaper than Le Chambertin and there's never a bad bottle.

It was pleasant enough and we drank plenty however if you tasted it next to a good Marsannay the difference leapt out at you right away.
Something to watch out for with French wines
