Domaine Drouhin-Laroze's Chambertin Clos de Bèze comes from a plot that formerly belonged to the monks of the Abbey of Bèze. The Domaine Drouhin-Laroze's plot was planted in 1949. It is élevaged in 80% new oak barrels. It produces small red berries and licorice on the nose. In the mouth, the attack is direct and the tannins are mellow, giving a rounded finish. A wine of great elegance.
An expressive and elegant mélange of oak trimmed and very spicy red and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by hints of violets and the expected pungent Gevrey earth that is also picked up by the rich and particularly full flavors that possess a natural sweetness, which serves to buffer the firm tannins on the wonderfully persistent finish. A lovely and entirely classic Bèze that is built to age.
