Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Domaine Drouhin Laroze 2014

**Note: from a parcel of 1.5 ha of vines planted in 1949; made with 25% whole clusters**
Moderate wood frames exuberantly spicy and fresh red and dark berry fruit that carries ample Gevrey-style earth and underbrush influences. There is good size, weight and volume to the admirably intense broad-shouldered flavors that evidence a light minerality on the impressively long but not really austere finish. This is a big but harmonious effort that should age gracefully for years to come though note that it will likely need at least 10.
