Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Lucien Le Moine 2014

Tasting Notes

Reduction. There is excellent mid-palate concentration to the serious and brooding imposingly-scaled flavors that exude a fine minerality on the robust, powerful and very firm but not at all rustic finish. I very much like the complexity, persistence and overall sense of balance and this should age effortlessly. Drink: 2029+

The 2014 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a pastille-like purity on the nose, very sensual for a Clos-de-Bèze with hints of marmalade and quince jus in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, a little disjointed on the entry perhaps, but there is good weight here and attractive notes of desiccated orange peel interlacing the red berry fruit on the finish. Let's see how this ages in bottle, because I am looking for a little more sustain on the aftertaste.
