Tasting Notes
(from a .25 ha parcel). Here there are no such issues as the pretty, pure and elegant nose displays notes of spice and floral hints on the ripe red currant, earth and cherry aromas. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the muscular, serious and powerful yet refined medium weight plus flavors that possess outstanding depth and length on the moderately structured and well-balanced finale.

The 2015 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru has dark berries, cola and Chinese tea on the nose: already a character-driven bouquet that takes you straight to the Clos de Bèze vineyard. The palate is very well balanced, refined with supple tannin. It feels lithe in the mouth with great precision and perfect salinity towards the precise finish, completing a beautiful and very natural wine that somehow feels comfortable in its own skin and assured of its destiny. This is a regal, sophisticated Clos de Bèze from Duroché that should give 20+ years of pleasure. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2019-2039
The Chambertin Clos de Bezé 2015 comes from a plot located in the southern end towards Les Chambertin and above Griotte-Chambertin. This is a serious wine underlining there is no other Grand Cru in the appellation that can match Clos de Bezé and Le Chambertin. This is a large scaled wine with a firm and defined backbone. The bouquet offer delicate red and dark fruits .. fresh elements of red currant and pomegranate interlinked with the powerful minerality. On the palate layered and deep red-berry fruit – presumably a lot of millerandage berries – from the very old vines planted in 1920. It’s tremendously deep and layered – and both intense and fresh offering all the best sides of the 2015 vintage. An outstanding wine by all standards. Dec 2016, www.winehog.org
