The 2013 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a quintessential “Bèze” bouquet with wilted rose petals infusing the brambly red cherries and strawberry–all very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a gentle build toward a blood-orange finish. There is backbone here for sure, allied with a sense of authority, a Clos de Bèze that will demand respect.- Neal Martin (06/2015)
(the fruit was mostly destemmed but not crushed, but a small quantity of whole clusters went into the bottom of the tank): Medium red. Classy soil-inflected aromas of black raspberry, violet and smoky minerals. Wonderfully intense yet almost magically seamless, showing explosive sappiness to its pungent dark berry and salty mineral flavors. The noble tannins are buried under a wave of fruits and minerals on the extremely long, palate-saturating finish. "A beautiful baby today," says Saouma. This wine, too, received a soft vinification. Brilliant potential.- Stephen Tanzer (01/2015)
