Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru offers intense aromas of raspberry, crushed strawberry and pomegranate on the nose. Fuller and fruitier than its peers, almost playful in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. A fine bead of acidity, tightens up towards the finish that has more structure and body than the nose implies. This has two personalities at the moment, the Janus of Clos-de-Bèze. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

The 2016 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is also showing superbly, offering up aromas of cassis, grilled meats, pungent spices and a savory bass-note reminiscent of oyster sauce. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with velvety structuring tannins, succulent acids and a long, expansive finish. It isn't quite as multidimensional or complete as this year's spectacular Ouvrées Rodin bottling, but it's a very fine Clos de Bèze.
Bright, dark red-ruby. Knockout sappy nose combines black raspberry, crushed rock and white pepper. Boasts remarkable intensity and clarity--not to mention class--to its flavors of raspberry, spices and pungent minerals. Wonderfully sappy and dense but almost magically light on its feet. This sharply delineated wine finishes with ineffable rising perfume and outstanding length. This wine manages to combine the best traits of Faiveley's other Gevrey grand crus--not to mention the finest qualities of the 2016 vintage--in an utterly weightless package.
