RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

A red that saturates the palate with its black cherry, plum, cassis and mineral flavors. Velvety and lush, with dense, finely woven tannins and vibrant acidity for support. The flavors just won't quit on the lingering aftertaste.

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Wonderfully complex and expressive aromas of black raspberry, pepper, musky game, minerals, mocha, chocolate, leather and dried flowers.

91-94Burghound.com

This too is very ripe and particularly spicy ... ...aromas of game, underbrush, Gevrey earth and hints of cassis that continue onto the rich, full and sleekly muscled flavors... ...the finish positively drenches the palate with dry extract

17Jancis Robinson

Thick, sweet, round, deep...

PRODUCER

Pierre Damoy

Pierre Damoy is a 25-acre estate in Cote de Nuits. It is run by Pierre Damoy who took over from his uncle in 1992. Under the younger Damoy the estate has become known for Grand Crus from Chambertin-Clos de Beze and Chapelle-Chambertin. Clive Coates calls Pierre Damoy “an important domain…Quality is now what it should be.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos-de-Beze

Chambertin Clos-de-Beze is a Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, and its history goes back to the 7th century when it was owned by the monks of the Abbey of Beze. After the French Revolution the Catholic Church was forced to divide the vineyard among peasants. Today it is a 38-acre vineyard, making it slightly larger than Chambertin. Chambertin and Chambertin Clos-de-Beze are adjacent and share similar limestone, clay and gravel soils. Of the 18 proprietors, the largest by acreage are Pierre Damoy, 13.4 acres; Armand Rousseau, 3.5 acres; and Drouhin-Laroze, 3.48 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
