Vinous

The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a wonderful nose of pure dark berry fruit, crushed stone and touches of undergrowth and tobacco. This seems to grow in the glass. The palate is ripe and slightly pinched on the entry, a touch of soy infusing the red berry fruit. Structured on the finish, but it feels just a little angular at the moment. Give it time to smooth out its creases. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. 09/2021

Inside Burgundy

Clear fresh purple with a lighter rim, very perfumed, plenty of charm here. Some whole bunches showing in an elegant style, leavening the ripe fruit. Impressive intensity in linear style, this will develop very nicely, and begins to do so with time in the glass. Does it have quite the punch in the middle and at the end for a really high score? Tasted Sep 2021.

Deep, dark and mysterious, rich and velvety, this is another amazing 2017 Grand Cru from Faiveley. The enormous power is tucked away in the background, so that you barely notice it. Wonderful minerality, married to caressing texture on the palate. Iron in the soul! Try to wait until 2023. 02/2019
