Domaine Duroche Chambertin Clos de Beze 2016 (750ML)

96 WA / 92-95 BH

 Aromas of rose petal, cherries and raspberries mingling with nuances of warm spices and dark chocolate preface the 2016 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered and richly textural wine that's broad shouldered and powerful, framed by supple tannins and bright acids. Of all Pierre Duroché's 2016s, this is the most youthfully reserved and will require the most cellaring to attain its plenitude. WK – The Wine Advocate

 Tasting note: This is also moderately marked by its wood though the fresh nose is much, much spicier with lovely aromas of mostly wild red berries and a whiff of sandalwood. The large-scaled flavors are concentrated to the point of being juicy and the intensity is most impressive as it does a slow build from the mid-palate before exploding on the superbly complex and well-balanced finale. This is definitely built-to-age and will need it. Burghound
