A Legendary Climat: Chambertin Clos de Bèze

Domaine Pierre Gelin’s Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is a celebrated jewel of the Côte de Nuits. This historic climat yields a Pinot Noir of extraordinary concentration and grace, a wine that embodies the heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Burgundy’s finest estates. It is often considered the more refined and approachable of the two Chambertin Grand Crus.

Tasting Profile (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A deep, intense ruby, developing a lovely garnet hue with bottle age.
• Nose: A powerful and racy bouquet, offering concentrated notes of macerated dark berries, fine spices, liquorice, and a delicate hint of forest floor (sous-bois) and minerality.
• Palate: Opulent and full-bodied, yet defined by a silky, elegant structure. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, providing a long, authoritative finish that speaks volumes of its Grand Cru status.

Pairing & Service Suggestions

To fully appreciate its complexity, serve this wine at 15°C-16°C.

• Food Pairing: Excellent with sophisticated game dishes such as Jugged Hare or Roast Woodcock. Also superb with a classic Rack of Lamb or high-quality, mature cheeses like unpasteurized Époisses.
• Laying Down: This wine is built for the cellar, capable of aging gracefully for 15 to 25 years.

A true collector's item, representing the pinnacle of Gevrey-Chambertin.
