2020 Chambertin Clos de Beze Vieilles Vignes

Vines are owned and farmed by Pierre Damoy, with Perrot-Minot choosing the harvest date. Cask sample. A hint of vegetal complexity again; offering freshness to a solid base of red, black and blue fruit. This is rather handsome and long, it’s burly and very fruit-driven, less overtly sweet than the Chambertin, with the acidity preserving freshness and the vegetal note a dose of intrigue. (MH)

The 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has what you might term a "deep" bouquet with intense red berry fruit laced with potpourri and very subtle oyster shell aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple lace-like tannins, a fine line of acidity, a discrete build and expansion towards the finish that displays more blacker fruit, a touch of white pepper lingering on the aftertaste.
