Dominique Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grande Cuvée Vieilles Vignes.

Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is a prestigious 15 hectare Grand Cru vineyard in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin in northern Burgundy. The vineyard is one of several Grand Cru sites in one contiguous plot on the Côte d'Or – its neighbors Mazis-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin lie just further north. The soils are similar to Chambertin, made up of pebbly, free-draining limestone with a good proportion of clay. 

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.
Often combined (both in the winery and in literature) with its southern neighbor, 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.
