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.

This too is strikingly complex though the aromatic profile is not at all the same as this is much spicier with layered red berry fruit, earth, exotic tea and forest floor aromas that are much less sauvage-inflected. The spice characters continue onto the very rich and imposingly scaled, intense and delineated broad-shouldered flavors that possess an overt muscularity and power, all wrapped in a tension-filled, austere and very firm finish. This is a big Clos de Beze with a stiff but not hard tannic spine that will require a very long snooze in a cold cellar.
