Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a slightly leaner bouquet than its peers: a pleasant leafiness filtering through the red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a piquant entry. This is tarty, higher in acidity than other Clos de Bèze, with Morello cherry, crushed strawberry and minerals towards the finish. It feels a little pointed at the moment but it has the substance to age. Tasted September 2016.

Healthy bright red. Reticent aromas of small wild red berries and truffley underbrush. Rich and fine-grained, with lovely lift to the utterly seamless, deep flavors of berries and earth. Not obviously superior to the Griotte, and not at all a powerhouse, but this tightly wound wine is still youthfully tight and will need years to unfold.
The 2013 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru comes from their own contract parcel and purchased fruit, cropped October 6-7, with partial whole cluster and raised for 14 months in 500 liter barrels. It appears to have more harmony than the Charmes-Chambertin at the moment, more floral in personality, to the point where it is more Charmes-Chambertin than the Charmes-Chambertin! The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, supple in the mouth, with good volume. There is plenty of red and black fruit here. although it is missing a little complexity toward the finish.
