2016 Chambertin Clos de Beze

The 2016 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru was made from two cuvees, one destemmed and the other not, so that there is around 30% whole bunch. It has a very well-defined bouquet with outstanding tension and focus. The palate is pure and silky smooth, more red fruit than black, very harmonious with very well-integrated new oak (80%). This is the best that the domaine has ever made. Period. Chapeau Nicolas and Caroline. Dec 2017, www.robertparker.com
