Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru

Clos de Bèze is located at the southern end of Gevrey-Chambertin on the famous "route des Grands Crus". Formerly the property of the monks of the Bèze Abbey, this vineyard is located on the hillside’s moderate slope and benefits from full eastern exposure. Its prestigious neighbours are Mazis-Chambertin to the north and the Chambertins to the south.
