Tasting notes
Served en magnum, the 2013 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a high-toned, glycerin-rich bouquet that bulges with black fruit. The palate is powerful with commendable purity, then becomes a little burly towards the finish. Yet you cannot deny its satin texture, but I'd be inclined to afford this another three or four years in bottle (or magnum). Tasted at Clarette in London.

Good dark red. Spectacular nose offers pungent, peppery aromas of raspberry, blood orange and white flowers, plus an exotic peach note. At once round and penetrating, offering outstanding density and precision to its flavors of red berries, flowers, crushed rock, melon and peach. Exhilarating, sappy Clos de Bèze with incredible intensity and length, not to mention a rare combination of volume and definition. Wonderfully suave, edge-free wine with captivating aromatic character.
The 2013 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is a wine for all the senses. Powerful yet also delicate at the same time, the Bèze captures all the nuance that makes Burgundy so compelling. Layers of flavor build effortlessly as this sublime wine shows off its considerable pedigree. Violets, lavender, spice and hard candy punctuate the exceptionally polished finish. This is a fabulous wine in the making and real head-turner.
Not one of their domaine wines. Dark lively and spicy. Full of life and exuberance. Super fruity. Very rich with a great whack of fruit almost disguising the fruit. Big and bold with lots of fun for everyone. Sweet. Almost low in acid! Charming more than dense. (JR)
