(80% new wood 25% whole bunch vinification. Dark imperial purple, there is a suavity about the nose which evokes this vineyard very well indeed. Marvellous depth of fruit on the palate, fine grained wood tannins, that little fresh feel from the vintage. Long silky texture, a little carpet of red velvet Tasted: December 2018 –Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Note: from a parcel of 1.5 ha of vines planted in 1949; vinified with 25% whole clusters
Tasting note: A brooding and inexpressive nose reluctantly offers up attractively spiced aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and plenty of floral wisps. There is even better volume and mid-palate density to the solidly powerful and mineral-inflected medium weight plus flavors that possess much better balance and proportion, particularly on the focused and lingering finish. This is perhaps not quite as refined as it usually is but the intrinsic class of a fine Bèze is still present. 2035+ --Allen Meadows, Burghound
