Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is a highly regarded grand cru vineyard at the northern end of the Côte d`Or. This Clos 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 Louis Jadot, Armand Rousseau, Domaine Faiveley and Drouhin Laroze, with 1.5 hectares of vines planted in 1949. This 2008 vintage is a complex but approachable wine, brimming with energy and understated elegance.
