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.

(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.
