Description

Clos de Bèze was originally planted by the monks of the Abbey of Bèze in 630, and Domaine Armand Rousseau’s grapes are sourced from both Petit Clos de Bèze and the upper parcels of Clos de Bèze. The 2017 vintage reveals brambly dark fruit, Earl Grey and a hint of chestnut. The palate shows some of the oak at the moment, although there is immense substance, with an almost candied, savoury finish.
