Where it is, July 2026
At Peak: in the heart of its drinking window (2022-2041).
In 2026, Les Ouvrees Rodin 2019 is at peak, though the peak is young and the wine has years of structure ahead. The 2019 vintage gives concentration and dark fruit, while the Clos de Beze site and old-vine parcel should provide finesse, limestone tension and a long mineral finish. Compare it through the [Burgundy hub](/wines/region/burgundy), [Pinot Noir hub](/wines/varietal/pinot-noir), and sibling [Faiveley Les Ouvrees Rodin 2022](/wines/faiveley/les-ouvrees-rodin-chambertin-clos-de-beze-grand-cru/2022).

Drinking window
Tasting note
The 2019 Faiveley Les Ouvrees Rodin Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru should be focused, elegant and deeply concentrated. The source note points to an exceptional single-parcel micro-cuvee from old vines on the lower southern section, and the wine should translate that into dark cherry, black raspberry, spice, violet, limestone and subtle savory earth. Body is fuller than most village Gevrey, with grand cru length and tannin that feels dense but polished. In 2026, it should show impressive fruit and mineral pressure, yet the finish should be more fine-boned than bulky, carrying spice and black-fruited depth with controlled power.
The 2019 vintage
The live table marks 2019 Chambertin-Clos de Beze as Wine Spectator 97 Classic, with a hot, dry summer producing concentrated, complex and ageworthy reds with black-fruit flavors and excellent structure. BIVB’s 2019 report also calls the year particularly hot and of astonishing quality. In this old-vine Clos de Beze parcel, that means a page should emphasize concentration and structure, but also the site’s limestone finesse.
About Faiveley
Faiveley’s official wine page explains that Les Ouvrees Rodin comes from an old-vine parcel in Chambertin Clos de Beze, with complexity drawn from limestone-rich scree soils. The cuvee name honors the connection between Marthe, Erwan Faiveley’s great-grandmother, and Maurice Fenaille, a patron of Auguste Rodin. That gives this page a true differentiator: old-vine Clos de Beze, limestone precision and an art-linked family cuvee rather than generic grand cru language.
From the cellar: pair with
Roast squab with cherry jus
The fine tannin, red-fruit core and lifted spice meet game bird richness without overwhelming the wine.
Mushroom pithivier
Earthy pastry and mushroom depth echo the savory Vosne side while the acidity keeps the dish clean.
Duck breast with five-spice
Moderate body, bright acidity and stem spice can handle gentle sweetness and aromatic seasoning.

Frequently Asked
When should I drink Dujac Beaux Monts 2019?
The page arc says the window opens in 2027 and peak begins in 2030, so in 2026 this is still early. Hold if you want silkier tannin and more savory Vosne complexity.
Should I decant it now?
If opened before 2030, decant for 90 minutes and serve in Burgundy stems. The goal is air without stripping perfume, because the wine is still built on freshness and fine structure.
What should I pair with it?
Choose dishes with delicate richness rather than heavy char. Squab, duck, mushrooms, truffle pasta and mild game work because the wine has acidity, red fruit and spice rather than massive weight.
Is there a better vintage to open first?
If you own a mature Dujac Beaux Monts or a softer 2017 Burgundy, open that before this 2019. This bottle has the structure and vintage depth to justify more cellar time.
