Domaine Faiveley
Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Clos de Bèze became part of the estate at the height of the financial crisis of the 1930s, and is considered one of the most emblematic appellations of Burgundy. Located in the heart of Gevrey’s Grands Crus (Mazis, Latricières, Charmes), Clos de Bèze epitomises their excellence.
Plot: 1.29 ha. This vineyard includes three plots: “Grands Rangs”, “Clos de Bèze Haut”, and “Vieilles Vignes”. The grapes from each of these parcels are traditionally vinified separately. Later, the wines are carefully blended and bottled. This appellation draws its depth and complexity from the limestone-rich scree soil.

Intense ruby-red hue and complex nose offering fruity and roasted notes. The palate is powerful, elegant, and distinctive with smooth yet direct tannins and a remarkably long and elegant finish.

"This lives up to the great reputation of this legendary site, often claimed to be superior to Chambertin (and it is certainly older). A dazzling cornucopia of red fruit and summer-flower aromas. Very elegant tannic power on the medium-bodied palate, but it’s the finesse that takes your breath away. Extremely long, subtle finish. From organically grown grapes."

"Starting out rather reserved, this red builds in intensity and complexity to the long, multifaceted finish. Cherry, blackberry, sandalwood, vanilla, iron and smoky spice aromas and flavors are the hallmarks, while the finish is seemingly endless. Classy, combining finesse and intensity. Best from 2029 through 2047. 140 cases made, 28 cases imported."
