From bottle, the 2017 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru wafts from the glass with pretty aromas of cassis, cherries, black tea, rose petals and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, supple and satiny, with a textural attack, a fleshy, succulent core of fruit and a pure and expansive finish. Open-knit and charming, the wine's powdery, melting tannins are largely concealed. This is a generous, head-turning Clos de Bèze that delivers immense pleasure, albeit comparatively little in the way of profundity.

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michel Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils, is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, perpetuating tradition for nearly 3 centuries and 9 generations. In 1775, Joseph Bouchard acquired his first vineyards in Volnay in the famous “Les Caillerets” climat and started to develop the family’s vineyard holdings.

During the French Revolution, property belonging to the clergy and nobility was confiscated and put up for sale. Joseph’s son, Antoine Philibert Joseph Bouchard, seized the opportunity to extend the family’s vineyard holdings in Beaune including the famous “Beaune Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus.”

This desire to build up an exceptional estate in Côte d’Or endured through the generations and acquisitions in the best Villages were added throughout the 19th century and again in the early 20th century.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is one of the most prestigious and renowned Grand Cru vineyards in the Burgundy wine region of France, specifically in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin within the Côte de Nuits area. This appellation stands as a paragon of the highest quality Pinot Noir, offering some of the most celebrated and sought-after wines globally.

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze has a rich history that dates back to the 7th century, when it was initially cultivated by monks from the Abbey of Bèze. The vineyard covers approximately 15.4 hectares, making it one of the larger Grand Cru sites in Burgundy. The appellation is adjacent to another legendary Grand Cru, Chambertin, and while both share similar soil compositions and climatic conditions, each vineyard's wines possess distinct characteristics.

The terroir of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is characterized by shallow, rocky soils, predominantly composed of limestone and marl. This rocky terrain facilitates excellent drainage and reflects heat back to the vines, contributing to the consistent ripening of grapes. These conditions are ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir that expresses a full spectrum of nuanced flavors.

Wines from Chambertin-Clos de Bèze are renowned for their depth, complexity, and structure. They typically display a rich bouquet of dark fruits like cherry and blackberry, complemented by earthy undertones, fine tannins, and a notable minerality. With age, these wines develop even more intricate layers of flavor, including notes of spice, leather, and truffle, making them highly prized among collectors.

Due to their exceptional quality and aging potential, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze wines are considered excellent investments for wine enthusiasts and are revered for their ability to showcase the epitome of what Burgundy Pinot Noir can achieve.
