Sourced from venerable old vines in Gevrey-Chambertin’s legendary Clos de Bèze, this wine marries power, finesse and age‑worthy structure in classic Pinot Noir form. The larger bottle size further enhances its ability to evolve slowly and gracefully, making it ideal for collectors and special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Grand Cru shows a deep, vibrant ruby hue with a youthful brightness at the rim that speaks to its energy and concentration. The nose is immediately complex and seductive, layering ripe red and black cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry coulis with roasted notes of cocoa nib, coffee bean and toasted spice, alongside hints of violet, rose petal, forest floor and a subtle, chalky minerality.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is both powerful and precise, displaying the hallmark Clos de Bèze balance of intensity and elegance. Silky yet present tannins frame a core of pure, sweet‑toned red fruit, blackcurrant and plum, backed by savory nuances of game, earth, fine oak and Asian spice. The texture is refined and seamless, with vibrant acidity providing lift and tension. The finish is exquisitely long, lingering with delicate floral, mineral and subtly smoky notes. In magnum, this 2019 has excellent aging potential: it will begin to show beautifully with 6–8 years of bottle age and can continue to develop complexity over 20+ years in a good cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos de Bèze sits at the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin’s Grands Crus, on a limestone-rich hillside that gives the wine its depth, aromatic lift and finely etched tannins. Faiveley farms three parcels here – “Grands Rangs”, “Clos de Bèze Haut” and “Vieilles Vignes” – totaling about 1.29 hectares, with vines planted between 1949 and 2018, including significant proportions of old vines. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with strict sorting to retain only the finest fruit. Each parcel is traditionally vinified separately to preserve its character, typically involving cold maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by aging in French oak barrels (a significant proportion new) in Faiveley’s 19th‑century cellars. Only after élevage are the individual wines meticulously blended to create a final cuvée that faithfully reflects the Clos de Bèze terroir, then bottled with minimal intervention to preserve purity and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Grand Cru Pinot Noir is an outstanding partner for refined, savory dishes: think roast lamb with herbs, pigeon or duck breast, venison, beef Wellington, or veal with morel cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with earthy accompaniments such as truffle dishes, wild mushrooms, game birds, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or mature Gruyère. Serve at 15–16°C (59–61°F) to highlight its aromatics and finesse. In its youth, decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended to allow the bouquet to unfurl and the tannins to soften; with extended bottle age, a gentle, shorter decant mainly for sediment is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley, Domaine Faiveley is one of Burgundy’s great family-owned estates, today stewarding around 120 hectares of vineyards, including an enviable collection of Grand Cru and Premier Cru holdings across the Côte d’Or. Under successive generations, notably Pierre’s son Joseph, the domaine became a global ambassador for Burgundy, known for wines that capture the clarity, elegance and typicity of their origins. With roughly 10 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, including in Gevrey-Chambertin, Corton, Echezeaux and Montrachet, Faiveley holds a leading role in the region. Acquiring Clos de Bèze during the 1930s, at the height of the financial crisis, cemented their presence among the elite of Gevrey’s grands crus. Today, Faiveley successfully blends modern precision with long-established cellar traditions, consistently earning critical acclaim for wines that express the full glory of French fine winemaking and the individuality of each terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faiveley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255076802897,"sku":"GCW-MMUI-20190905","price":885.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/c3b0dc0d-cca6-4b3b-8299-bec9ea0d0e53.png?v=1783456593","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2019-domaine-faiveley-chambertin-clos-de-beze-grand-cru-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
