"Clos de Bèze" is located in the southern part of Gevrey-Chambertin on the Route des Grands Crus. Once the property of the monks of the Bèze abbey, this climat lies on a moderate slope and benefits from full eastern exposure. Its prestigious neighbours are Mazis-Chambertin to the north and Chambertin to the south.

Tasting
This wine expresses the exceptional character of a grand terroir combined with that of a noble grape variety. Complex nose featuring notes of red fruit and flowers (peony, rose, violet...), which are enhanced by delicate hints of oak which will evolve toward scents of spices, forest undergrowth and leather over time. This is a highly distinguished wine endowed with voluptuous body and elegant tannic structure. Superb length.
