Chambertin Grand Cru - Clos de Bèze 2020

The monks from the Abbey of Bèze became owners of vineyards in Gevrey as early as 630AD. They cultivated this vineyard and built a wall around it which is no longer extant today.

"A beautiful, intense ruby-red colour. Powerful but refined aromas. When the wine is young, the aromas are reminiscent of black cherry and dark chocolate. With age, they evolve towards notes of undergrowth, truffle and liquorice. After 15 years or so, the aromas of candied fruit remain but are mingled with nuances of leather and musk. Tannins provide a good structure, perfectly balanced by the velvety texture of the wine. The long aftertaste brings back the aromas of cherry and liquorice: a kaleidoscope of sensations"
