About this Item
The 2007 Côte de Nuits harvest produced wines of genuine elegance and fine aromatic definition, a vintage that has held up admirably and offers rewarding drinking alongside continued development. Bouchard Père & Fils' 2007 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze has been awarded a 93 points from David Schildknecht at Wine Advocate. Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is one of the supreme Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, founded by the monks of the Abbey of Bèze in the 7th century and the only Grand Cru in Burgundy permitted to append the name Chambertin to its own, its ancient limestone and clay soils producing wines of exceptional aromatic complexity, structural refinement and multi-decade longevity. The wine is produced from 100% Pinot Noir, aged 12 to 14 months in French oak with 40 to 50% new barrels.
Provenance
These wines have been sourced directly from the ancient 15th Century cellars of Bouchard Père et Fils. They were imported into South Africa in March 2026 by Great Domaines via refrigerated container (reefer), ensuring optimal preservation throughout transit.
Critics Ratings
“Fragrant and sweetly spiced but also with bright fresh (raspberry?) fruit aromas. Touch of vanilla sweetness. Darker and more plummy in the mouth. Very fine grained tannins, good depth of fruit but tightly furled at the moment. Long.” - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, +17/20 (Jun 2009)
“Rose petal, fennel, licorice, raspberry and dark cherry, and decadent gaminess in the nose of Bouchard's 2007 Chambertin Clos de Beze lead into a correspondingly complex palate that combines a silken texture with bright, penetrating fruit of a sort rare in 2007. Persistently alluring rose and peony perfume lends persistent allure as this finishes with delightful and profound interaction of fruit, mineral, floral, and animal elements.” - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Jun 2010)
