Note di degustazione
The 2014 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a very perfumed bouquet, perhaps the most floral in recent years; hints of graphite and loam suffuse the red fruit. Mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, sapid and tensile, with lovely cohesion and a silky smooth finish that belies the structure underneath. This oozes class, although it needs another couple of years in bottle. Wonderful. Tasted at the Clos de Bèze vertical at La Cobotte.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Duroché was shaded by the wood on the nose, and it was difficult to read the fruit at this present juncture. The palate is medium-bodied with good extraction, perhaps needing a little more of the delineation and precision that defines the Clos de Bèze from Faiveley this year. It remains tight-lipped, laconic toward the finish. It will develop more personality with bottle age—I suspect this is entering a sulky period where it may shut down for a period. Tasted September 2017.
(there were just four barrels of this juice in 2014; these vines were planted in 1920 at a very dense 1. 0 by 0. 8 meters, or 12,500 vines per hectare): Healthy medium red. Richer and broader on the nose than the Charmes, showing slightly sauvage aromas and flavors of wild red berries, medicinal red cherry, dried flowers, tobacco, smoke and gibier . Rich, thick and savory; at once very dry and fully ripe. Really mounts in intensity toward the back but doesn't currently show the thrust of the best examples of this grand cru.

Domaine Duroché has, under Pierre Duroché, become one of the most sought-out and respected wine domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are delicate and detailed, yet with old-vine intensity, a clear sense of place and style – and it’s easy to see why they’ve rapidly become so in-demand.
