RATINGS

96Wine Spectator

A delicious infusion or terroir and fruit highlight this intense, backward red. Well-muscled, it evokes cherry, tobacco and mineral aromas and flavors wrapped up in its vivid, firm structure. The tannins are beautifully integrated...

95-98The Wine Advocate

Loads of blackberries, licorice, plums, black cherries, stones, and flowers can be discerned in its complex flavor profile. Its finish, described in my notes as "completely unreal", is exceedingly long, fruit-filled, and suave.

94Stephen Tanzer

Subtly complex nose melds red fruits, rose petal, minerals and musky soil tones. Lush, rich, silky and deep...

92-95Burghound.com

A clear and unmistakable notch up as there is more of everything with bigger, denser and more powerful flavors that are spicier and purer aromatically as well.

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.
