Description
The domaine’s 0.33 hectares are a stone’s throw from its Le Chambertin. Previously, the two were blended. But the brothers prefer to separate the two to highlight their difference: Clos de Bèze will often seem more seductive on first taste, illustrated here by a rich, spicy and concentrated bouquet, with an explosive and fruit-driven perfume of ripe cherry. Drink 2035-2060.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
