Why shop with us?
Domaine Pierre Gelin’s Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2012 is a distinguished expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards. Clos de Bèze is among the region’s oldest and most revered climats, with a reputation for producing wines of remarkable depth, finesse and longevity. This poised vintage combines the elegance of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir with the concentration expected from a Grand Cru.
Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep ruby-red colour, with a refined bouquet of ripe red berries, including cherry and strawberry, layered with violet, delicate spice and a discreet touch of oak. Subtle mineral nuances add further complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is elegant and well balanced, offering fine-grained tannins, impressive depth and a persistent finish. The 2012 vintage brings together concentration and finesse, while continued bottle ageing can reveal even greater aromatic complexity and savoury nuance. Properly stored, it has the potential to develop for approximately 15–20 years from vintage.
Production
Made exclusively from carefully selected Pinot Noir grown in the Clos de Bèze Grand Cru vineyard, this wine reflects the distinguished terroir of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The 2012 growing season produced grapes with excellent quality and concentration, resulting in a structured yet refined wine. Details of the specific harvesting and vinification methods are not provided, although the subtle oak character indicates maturation that has been carefully integrated into the finished wine.
Food & Serving
This Grand Cru is well suited to refined dishes such as roasted or braised game, lamb, beef and richly flavoured poultry. It also pairs beautifully with mature, carefully selected cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C, and consider decanting for around one hour before serving to allow the wine’s layered aromas and mineral character to unfold.
Producer
Domaine Pierre Gelin is a respected Burgundy producer based in Fixin, in the Côte de Nuits, with a portfolio that includes wines from some of the region’s most distinguished appellations. Its Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru showcases the domaine’s connection to exceptional Burgundy terroirs and the capacity of Pinot Noir to express both elegance and power. The 2012 bottling is a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a mature, age-worthy Grand Cru from a highly regarded estate.
