Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is a highly regarded grand cru vineyard at the northern end of the Côte d`Or. It is one of the oldest in Burgundy, having been created by the Abbey of Bèze in the 7th century. Some high-profile producers own parcels here, including Drouhin Laroze, with 1.5 hectares of vines planted in 1949. Often compared to the wines from the neighbouring region of Chambertin, Clos-de-Bèze wines tend to be slightly lighter but equally complex. Expect notes of dark fruits, earthy spices, and floral undertones, typical of Clos de Bèze`s complexity. On the palate, it’s rich yet refined, with silky tannins and a well-structured frame. Flavours of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and hints of minerality lead to a long, elegant finish.
