Grand Cru (great growth) is the highest level in the vineyard classification of Burgundy.There are a total of 550 hectares (1,400 acres) of Grand Cru vineyards—approximately 2% of Burgundy's 28,000 hectares (69,000 acres) of vineyards (excluding Beaujolais)—of which 356 hectares (880 acres) produce red wine and 194 hectares (480 acres) produce white wine.
At the turn of the 21st century, there were 40 Premier cru vineyards in Chablis. In 2009, the official list was expanded to 89 vineyards.

In 2008, 409.65 hectares (1,012.3 acres) of vineyard surface was in production for Gevrey-Chambertin at village and Premier Cru level, making it the largest village-named appellation of the Côte de Nuits, and the second largest of the Côte d'Or, just behind Beaune AOC.
Burgundy is the most northerly good red wine growing district in the World. [26] Burgundy's Pinot noir produces wines that can age well in good years, developing complex fruit and forest floor flavors as they age, often reaching peak 15 or 20 years after the vintage. Many of the wines are produced in small quantities.
Gevrey-Chambertin is the source of 9 out of 33 Burgundy Grand crus AOC wines: Chambertin 12.9 ha, Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze 15.4 ha, Chapelle-Chambertin 5.5 ha, Charmes-Chambertin 30.8 ha, Mazis-Chambertin 9.1 ha, Mazoyères-Chambertin 1.72 ha, Griotte-Chambertin 2.7 ha, Latricières-Chambertin 7.3 ha, Ruchottes-Chambertin 3.3 ha.
