Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a highly perfumed, incense- and lavender-infused bouquet that retains admirable delineation, one that you would think comes from a cooler growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe, revealing dark chocolate and cedar notes toward the finish and mint on the aftertaste. Perhaps the finish does not quite match the alluring bouquet, but it should mature nicely over the next couple of decades.
