The 2011 Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru, two-thirds from vines planted in 1912 and one-third re-planted in 1972, is a little more closed on the nose when compared with the Clos St. Jacques. But it gradually unfurls to reveal attractive scents of red cherries, chalk dust and cold stones. The palate is very full in the mouth with superb acidity: crisp dark cherry and red currant fruit, then later pomegranate and bergamot. It is very harmonious in the mouth, becoming fleshier on aeration with a precise, understated but focused finish. There is a lot of potential here. An excellent Clos-de-Beze with real breeding. Drink 2015-2030.
