Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is one of Burgundy’s great wines. Ripe, fleshy, full-flavored, and intense, the wine tends to have deep color, sturdy but beautifully integrated tannins, and can age for many years in a cool cellar. The wine was completely de-stemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in 80% new Burgundian pièce.
Expert Notes
Wine Spectator: 95
A flashy version, this boasts vanilla and toasty oak aromas and flavors, with macerated black cherry, plum, licorice and mint. Supple and refined, with a long, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. So harmonious that it feels approachable now, but be patient.
