Tasting notes
The 1993 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is just a spellbinding wine from Rousseau that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Chambertin. Side by side it is almost impossible to argue one being better than the other. It still has that heavenly perfumed bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, decayed autumn leaves and a touch of truffle. This is quintessential "Pinoté". The palate has retained wonderful vibrancy and has the audacity to develop a little more depth and grip than the Chambertin. Going as strong as ever. Tasted at a private dinner in London.

A bottle of Rousseau’s 1993 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze appears from out of nowhere. Tasted against the Chambertin, the Bèze has more power, intensity and freshness. I have always adored the 1993. This bottle is exceptional.
