Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is a prestigious Grand Cru vineyard at the northern end of the Côte d'Or. Often combined (both in the winery and in literature) with its southern neighbour, Le Chambertin it is planted entirely to Pinot Noir. The site makes a wine that is classically Gevrey-Chambertin: perfumed, full-bodied, concentrated and structured, and worthy of being aged for many years.
The vineyard is one of several grand cru sites in one contiguous plot on the Côte d'Or. The Chambertin vineyard is at the heart of this, covering land on the best part of the hill, where the soil and sunshine combine to make one of the greatest red wines in the world. Clos-de-Bèze covers the northern part of Chambertin and is one of the northernmost grand cru vineyards on the Côte d'Or – its neighbours Mazis-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin lie just further north. Alone, the Clos-de-Bèze covers 15 hectares (37 acres) of land. The soils here are similar to those in Chambertin, made up of pebbly, free-draining limestone with a good proportion of clay.
