2017 Chambertin Clos de Beze

Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a slightly smudged, almost opaque bouquet that does not really articulate this particular Grand Cru. Touches of brown spice, black cherries, and later just a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, moderate acidity, quite assertive and unyielding at the moment with immense grip on the finish.

There is only one barrel of the 2017 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, a lavish, full-bodied wine with considerable concentration and rich structuring tannin, bursting with aromas and flavors of dark berries, spices, licorice, rich soil and nori. Long and serious, along with the Bonnes-Mares this Clos de Bèze appears to possess the greatest potential of Boillot's Côte de Nuits bottlings.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
