Tasting Notes
From the same grower as their Chapelle-Chambertin, Bouchard's 2006 Chambertin Clos de Beze displays the classic rose petal, licorice, and black fruit aromas of the site; presents a satiny, palate impression underlain by stony, peaty, and tactile suggestions of things mineral that persist into a memorably mysterious and interactive finish. Here are abundant yet entirely healthy and fine-grained tannins that – when taken with the wines richness of fruit and fascinating suggestions of things carnal and mineral – promises rewards if one waits to revisit for 2-3 years and then plans to savor for another half dozen. Score: 92 David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2011-2017 22 December 2009
Good bright red. Knockout nose melds musky, smoky soil tones, raspberry, blood orange, white pepper and coffee; wild and exhilarating. At once suave and electric on the palate, with wonderfully complex and alive flavors of raspberry, pungent minerals, pepper, smoked meat and dried flowers. This dense and intense but youthfully tight wine saturates the mouth with flavor and leaves the taste buds vibrating. The peppery element gives the finish terrific lift and lightness. Score: 94 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 March 2009
A more elegant, less reserved and spicier nose of cool red berry fruit that has background nuances of Gevrey earth and underbrush notes that merge into rich, full and serious full-bodied flavors that are marvelously complex and brimming with dry extract that gives the finish a textured quality on the massively long finish. This is a 'wow' wine that is also old school in style. Don't miss! Score: 95 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2018+ 01 April 2008
