Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Domaine Bruno Clair 2010

Tasting Notes

A spicy, pure and admirably refined nose offers up notes of cool, layered and an impressively broad mix of wild red berries, stone and underbrush hints. The textured and almost painfully intense broad-shouldered flavors possess deep reserves of tannin-buffering dry extract as well as the same extraordinary finishing depth that the nose hints at. A knock-out but this is expressly built to age and the flavors and tannic spine are so tightly wound that it's pointless to buy this if you do not intend to age it for at least 10 to 12 years first. Note: two-thirds of the vines were planted in 1912 and the remainder in 1973. Drink 2027+.
