Domaine Henri Rebourseau Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru Chambertin Clos de Bèze. A spicier and more elegant nose offers up the cool and relatively high-toned essence of red raspberry, rose petal, violet and exotic tea.
 
Neal Martin: "This has a little more complexity and terroir expression than the Chambertin. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins, fine acidity. Fleshy and sensual, with great symmetry towards the close. The Clos-de-Bèze has an excellent saline finish that lingers in the mouth".

Ratings:
Inside Burgundy/Jasper Morris: 93-96/100.
Vinous/Neal Martin: 93-95/100.
 
Chambertin is situated upon outcrops of lower Bajocian crinoidal limestone (limestone formed with fossils) in the middle of the hill, while at the top of the slope Bajocian marls dominate. A thin layer of scree and silt covers the entire climat whose soils are exclusively brown limestone.

The plot belonging to the Domaine is situated on the south of the appellation. Only 60m to the north of the Chambertin wall. Located mid slope, the estate Clos de Bèze distinguished by the vitality of its vegetal thanks to an young plantation of 1972. Like the Chambertin the altitude is ideal, stones are abundant and the natural drainage is perfect, while its exposure to the rising sun is incomparable.

Fundamentals:
100% Pinot Noir.
15-19 months oak ageing.
Altitude: 281m.
Farming: Organic non certify + biodynamic practises.
