Prieure-Roch Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2022 AOC 0.75l

Prieure-Roch Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2022 AOC 0.75l presents itself as the expression of controlled maturity and refined winemaking expertise imprinted over time. This wine is located in the heart of Burgundy, on the Côte de Nuits, in Gevrey-Chambertin, where the limestone and marl terroir contributes to the wine's depth and minerality. Its history stems from the identity of Prieure-Roch, a house that combines family tradition and rigorous method, with a philosophy that favors an authentic understanding of the vineyard: moderate interventions, manual harvesting of the grapes, careful control of fermentation, and aging in selected vats and barriques to preserve the purity of the fruit without obscuring its complexity. In Clos de Beze, the cru vineyard that gives the wine its name, the dense soil and sunny exposure allow for a ripe but not heavy harvest, allowing the wine to display an aromatic progression from dark fruit to floral notes, accompanied by a vibrant freshness that supports the long finish. Upon tasting, an elegant texture is immediately revealed: aromas of black cherry, violet, and sweet spices emerge against a flint background; on the palate, a rounded yet structured body emerges, with sharp yet polished tannins and a crisp acidity that instills a lively sip and a capacity to evolve over time. Compared to other estates in the region, Prieure-Roch distinguishes Chambertin Clos de Beze for its ability to balance power and finesse, without sacrificing the expressive coherence of the cru; the wine occupies a prominent place within the winery's portfolio, offering a window into a legendary terroir while maintaining a trademark of understated authority. The production philosophy is essential: patient work in the vineyard, waiting for the grapes to reach optimal ripeness, controlled maceration, and oak aging that doesn't overwhelm, but rather enhances. For those seeking a wine that pairs well with fine meat dishes or aged cheeses, the Chambertin Clos de Beze 2022 is a perfect accompaniment to a cuisine that stands the test of time. STELT offers an elegant and measured interpretation of wine, perfect for moments of quiet reflection.
