Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Les Ouvrées Rodin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
No. 6 of 9 in the Gevrey Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 tasting. Dark Ruby in colour. Obviously of Grand Cru quality on nose and palate. Notes of pepper spice and red fruits. A colleague to my left who has a 6000 bottle cellar and head of the Chevaliers in Australia said that Beze is more spicy than Le Chambertin. Hate to think what this is worth. A luxurious wine. On revealing its identity it turns out the “Les Ouvrees Rodin” comes off a plot of less than one acre would you believe. Vines are over 60 years old. Wonderful quality which you could drink now it is so delicious but I see Decanter has a drinking window of 2026 to 2045. Rarer than Faiveleys standard Clos de Beze.
