Joseph Drouhin - Chambertin-Clos de Beze Pinot Noir Grand Cru 1966 - 0,75l

Joseph Drouhin’s Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 1966 is a distinguished Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated vineyards. A rare mature vintage, it combines the refined structure of this historic Grand Cru with the depth and complexity that can develop over decades in bottle.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as showing an intense ruby-red appearance, while its considerable age may also bring garnet or brick-red tones at the rim. Its bouquet is complex and layered, offering black-fruit aromas alongside warming spices and notes of leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with balanced acidity, mature savoury nuances and a long, persistent finish. This is a fully mature wine and is best enjoyed now rather than held for further development. As with any bottle of this age, its condition, fill level and storage history will have a significant influence on the tasting experience.

Production
Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is a renowned Grand Cru climat in Gevrey-Chambertin, valued for producing powerful yet finely detailed Pinot Noir on Burgundy’s limestone-rich soils. The wine was made from Pinot Noir and matured for at least 18 months in oak, allowing its fruit, structure and savoury complexity to integrate over time. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this 1966 bottle are not available.

Food & Serving
Its mature, full-bodied character makes it a natural partner for game, roast lamb and richly flavoured poultry. It also pairs beautifully with well-aged cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting should be approached carefully: an older bottle may benefit from gentle separation from any sediment, but extended aeration could diminish its delicate tertiary aromas.

Producer
Founded in Beaune in 1880, Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy’s best-known négociant-producers, with a long-standing reputation for expressing the character of important vineyards across the region. The domaine has built particular recognition for its work with premier and Grand Cru sites, including the celebrated vineyards of the Côte de Nuits. This 1966 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze reflects both the prestige of its origin and the historic appeal of mature Burgundy.
