Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2011 750mL is a Grand Cru red Burgundy produced by Domaine Bruno Clair from the Chambertin Clos de Bèze climat in Gevrey-Chambertin, bottled at 750ml in a Burgundy-shaped bottle.
From the Producer
Domaine Bruno Clair was established in Marsannay-la-Côte by Bruno Clair in 1979, after he took over holdings from his father Joseph Clair. The domaine farms across the Côte de Nuits with parcels in Marsannay, Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Aloxe-Corton, plus a small white-wine holding in Pernand-Vergelesses. Clos de Bèze is one of the Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Crus and sits adjacent to Chambertin on the same bedrock; domaine bottlings from this climat are typically produced from old vines with traditional Burgundy vinification and ageing in French oak. The 2011 vintage in Burgundy followed a cool, demanding growing season; yields were small and reds from classified sites were widely reported as classically structured, with fresh acidity and a restrained profile.
