Hailing from the renowned vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, the Dominique Laurent Clos de Beze Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2007 is a testament to the depth and complexity Burgundy wines can achieve. This 94-point wonder boasts an intriguing palate of ripe black cherries, earthy undertones and a hint of spice, all deftly balanced with a touch of French oak. The old vines (vieilles vignes) lend an intensity and concentration of flavor that is truly captivating, setting it apart in a region known for excellence. With a maturity that makes it perfect for drinking now, it’s a divine match for a rich beef bourguignon or a cozy fireside chat. While its original retail price suggests its high quality, acquiring this gem at a significant markdown makes it a truly great value find.
