A. Rousseau Question

Actually
Gevrey-Chambertin (Village)
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St-Jacques
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers
Charmes-Chambertin (GC)
Mazy-Chambertin (GC)
Clos de la Roche (GC)

share the same label-design, despite the different wording.

Chambertin
Chambertin Clos de Beze
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St.Jacques
Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes (GC)

are all different, the latter two showing the vineyard (gate).

Why? No idea, but I suppose that the Domaine wanted to distiguish the 4 vineyards they estimated highest …
also it´s traditionally so for decades.
I also never understood why the Clos de Beze has such a simple uninteresting design !? (compared with the Chambertin …)

There are other examples, Guigal has already been mentioned above,
Coche-Dury has also different labels for the Meursaults and the Corton-Charlemagne,
Clos du Caillou for the CdP, Quartz and Reserve,
Doinique Laurent has black and bright ones (no idea why!),
Rene Rostaing for the classic Cote-Rotie and the single vineyards …

Different labels have their advantages - e.g. I once mistook a Clos-St-Denis instead of a Morey-St-Denis because the labels looked almost idential … well [head-bang.gif] or flirtysmile - depending on the view …

Louis Latour:

Chateau Corton Grancey
Clos de la Vigne au Saint
Aloxe-Corton Clos du Chapitre
Corton-Charlemagne
Romanee St Vivant
and others

are quite different.
