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.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The oak comes through stronger than on Drouhin-Laroze’s Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2011 compared to Bruno Clair. The fruit is broodier and only reluctantly reveals blackberry and wild raspberry scents, touches of orange blossom later. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, thickset tannins that lend this weight and muscle. Bold and forward with touches of spice and white pepper toward the finish, this is an assertive Clos de Bèze that will require several years in bottle. Neal Martin30th November 2014
