Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2021
This plot belonged to the monks of the Bèze monastery, and vines were planted here as early as 630 AD.
The wine is referred to as the "King of Wines", and Camille Rodier noted that this one wine contained all the good qualities from the entire Burgundy area.
The domain's plot is 1.5 hectares and the vines were planted in 1949.
The Domaine's Grands Crus are matured in oak barrels (80% new barrels) made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. Light to medium roasting is preferred, as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and the wood's tannins.
Chambertin Clos De Bèze has an intense purple color in the glass. The scent is almost majestic, reminiscent of small red berries and licorice. The taste is nicely balanced, clean and rich. Spicy and precise tannins give roundness and lightness in the finish.
A super elegant wine.
