RATINGS

94Stephen Tanzer

Rich, pliant and generous; large-scaled and fat with fruit. This silky wine is wonderfully plump for 2007 and yet its sweetness is restrained. The seamless, sappy finish conveys a tactile impression of extract and an iodiney quality.

...distinctly floral and more deeply pitched and much spicier nose offers up reluctant red & black berry fruit aromas as well as game & smoke notes that continue onto the mineral-driven, powerful and well-muscled broad-shouldered flavors...

Quite sleek and fine and focussed.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Beze

Chambertin Clos-de-Beze is a Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, and its history goes back to the 7th century when it was owned by the monks of the Abbey of Beze. After the French Revolution the Catholic Church was forced to divide the vineyard among peasants. Today it is a 38-acre vineyard, making it slightly larger than Chambertin. Chambertin and Chambertin Clos-de-Beze are adjacent and share similar limestone, clay and gravel soils. Of the 18 proprietors, the largest by acreage are Pierre Damoy, 13.4 acres; Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres; and Drouhin-Laroze, 3.48 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
