Chambertin Clos de Beze Armand Rousseau 2007

Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is one of the 9 grands crus within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, stretching over approximately 15 hectares of limestone and clay soils. The plot has been the same size since approximately 636, when Amalgaire, Duke of Burgundy, founded the Benedictine Abbaye of Bèze and donated the land to the monks. Today the vineyard is home to several top producers including Armand Rousseau, who owns two parcels here. Clos-de-Bèze is often described as the feminine face of Chambertin, revealing all the elegance and finesse of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation.
