Aromas of cassis, plums, orange oil, smoked meats, loamy soil and black truffle preface Faiveley's 2019 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, a full-bodied, velvety and sumptuous wine that's elegantly textural and fleshy, with its broad-shouldered chassis of tannin cloaked in an ample core of succulent fruit. Long and complete, it's a terrific Clos de Bèze in the making.
Cask sample. Lightish crimson. Peppery and seems a touch stemmy though I don’t know if there was any whole bunch here – a sort of leafy spice. Beautifully fine tannins, elegant structure, with the fruit to balance. Not as good as the Drouhin Clos de Bèze. But great length. (JH)
