Drouhin Laroze Chambertin Clos de Beze 2016 (750ML)

96-98 WA /18 JR

Note: from a parcel of 1.5 ha of vines planted in 1949

The 2016 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru was made from two cuvées, one destemmed and the other not, so that there is around 30% whole bunch. It has a very well-defined bouquet with outstanding tension and focus. The palate is pure and silky smooth, more red fruit than black, very harmonious with very well-integrated new oak (80%). This is the best that the domaine has ever made. Period. Chapeau Nicolas and Caroline. Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate

Mid crimson. Juicy, very flattering fruit. Real energy, ripe fruit and excitement with taffeta-like texture – crunchy. Great balance and delivery in sweet mode. Admirable energy and chew. Great drive. Jancis Robinson.com
