This plot, which is very rich in limestone, existed before ‘Chambertin’ existed. In 640, the Duke Amalgaire gave lands to the Abbey of Beze and the monks cleared a forest to plant vines. In the seventeenth century the yield was estimated at 25 hl/ha: two times less than that of the vines on the plain. The renown and the quality of the wines from Clos de Beze was such, that in the eighteenth century, they were 20 times more expensive than a century before.

Red-ruby. Knockout multidimensional nose combines red berries, licorice, orange peel and pungent smoky minerality. Dense, sappy, sweet and very young; much more about soil than pinot noir fruit. Offers intriguing saline and orange peel notes, plus a licorice quality that Hervet says comes from soil rich in silica (like Vosne-Romanee Les Reignots). Wonderfully tactile finish offers outstanding lift and some sweet new oak. This got better and better in the glass.
