1991 Chambertin Clos de Beze

The 1991 Chambertin-Clos de Beze should turn out to be among Jadot's finest wines of the vintage. With a saturated, deep ruby color, and a tight but promising nose of roasted herbs, black fruits, and vanillin, this long, rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, powerful wine reveals moderate tannins in the finish, as well as plenty of depth. Drink it between 1996-2005. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY. NOTES ON THE 1992s FROM BARREL: Jadot's 1992 reds appear to be fruitier, more charming and attractive wines than the 1991s. Not as powerful nor as tannic as the 1991s, they display seductive, velvety textures and loads of sweet fruit. They are particularly strong in Jadot's extensive Cote de Beaune portfolio. Moreover, prices for the 1992s will be lower, making them attractive buys.
