Saint Vincent Tournante Gevrey-Chambertin

This wine-growing festival, punctuated by the customs and traditions of Burgundian folklore, was held in Gevrey-Chambertin for the first time in 1947, and since then, the feast of the patron saint of winemakers has been welcomed almost every twenty years, the last Vincent in the village dating back to 2000.
Gevrey-Chambertin is full of superlatives as its history and heritage related to wine are rich and singular. The largest vineyard in the Côte-d'Or with its 550 hectares, the name of Gevrey-Chambertin radiates throughout the world and time. "King's wine, king of wines", sanctified by Victor Hugo, drunk by Napoleon I, the Chambertin stands above the pyramid of wines, supported by eight other Grands Crus, unique in Burgundy!

This great weekend of Saint-Vincent Tournante begins on Saturday morning with the parade of a hundred banner and statues of St. Vincent which crosses from both sides of the village. This procession is marked by a tribute to the war memorials and ends at the church for a religious ceremony.
The commemorations then give way to festivities - folk troupes, street performers, brass concert - organized throughout the village decorated for the occasion with a thousand colors and decorations on the theme of aromas of Pinot Noir. At the end of the morning, to the great pleasure of the visitors, the tasting cellars open their doors and propose to the tasting the cuvées specially produced for the occasion on 5 vintages: 2009, 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2018.
