The 2016 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a glorious bouquet with ample red cherry, redcurrant jus, orange pith and blood orange scents all vying for attention (in an orderly fashion!). The palate is very harmonious with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, quite dense with graphite and tobacco interlaced on the structured and sustained finish. It is not up there with the magnificent 2015 but it will give three decades of serious drinking pleasure.
A concentrated cherry note anchors floral, spice, mineral and tobacco flavors in this muscular red. A core of acidity provides structure and keeps this red focused and energetic. Fine balance and length.
One of the series of great Grand Cru wines from this producer, this is powerful, opulent and seductive. Broad, rich red fruits mask dense tannins that back up the wine and give it concentration and longevity. This wine will age for many years and will not be drinkable before 2026. Roger Voss
