Note di degustazione
Good bright medium red, with a hint of amber at the rim. Riper and sexier on the nose than the Amoureuses, with raspberry and caramel aromas dominating. Distinctly velvety and plush on the palate, offering a captivating combination of red berries, spices, earth and game. Has just enough suave tannins and mineral grip to give shape to the finish. These vines were totally destemmed, partly due to the big crop, according to Nicolas Groffier, who did not join his father and grandfather at the family estate until 2005. This very sexy wine still has plenty of life ahead of it.

The exceptional, medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambertin Clos de Beze has boisterous Asian spice and candied cherry aromas. Cookie dough, blackberry syrup, violets, candied cherries, and hints of licorice can be found in this muscular, opulent wine. Its liquid velvet-like personality screams of sur-maturite, yet it is fresh and delineated. It displays a prodigiously long, candied, supple finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2014.
