What is the difference between the Chambertin and the Clos de Bèze from the Armand Rousseau estate?
These two neighboring grand crus from the Armand Rousseau estate share the same granitic and limestone terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin, yet deliver distinct expressions. The Chambertin is often described as more powerful, more fleshy, with an imposing tannic structure that requires time to fully reveal itself. The Chambertin Clos de Bèze, on the other hand, tends to show greater elegance and refinement from an early age, with remarkable aromatic complexity. Both rank among the most coveted Burgundy wines in the world.
