The 2015 Chambertin Clos de Beze has a very intense bouquet with blackberry, bilberry, iodine and violet scents that feel quite linear, tightly wound at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied, a little stocky on the entry with firm tannin, more masculine than the Charmes-Chambertin with a hint of salted licorice on the finish. This is very fine.

The 2014 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, veering more to the former with time, just a touch of iris and dried blood emerging with time, though very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and rounded red berry fruit, a lot of new oak evident at the moment and that will need a few years to integrate. There is a pleasant spicy touch towards the finish that lingers in the mouth, completing a well crafted Clos-de-Bèze.
