2005 Clair Bruno Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. A wide, coffee inflected and soft nose – eventually some lovely red fruit on the nose. The acidity is brighter and makes for a nice burst of interest in the mid-palate and into the finish. There is plenty of tannin but the fruit is a good match.

Nose is a little powder – soft red fruit too. In the mouth there’s good acidity and length – tannins with just a trace of bitterness and vanilla. Almost good value

A deep and dark nose. Plenty of grainy tannin here coupled with mouthwatering acidity too. Fortunately the fruit is also very interesting and seems up to the job. Good as it is, it’s twice the price of Pavelot’s and not as good.

A deep, round and oakily creamy nose – quite clean though. Ripe and clean with real concentration and dimension. There’s lots of tannin but it’s balanced and long – impressive.

The nose starts wide, red and just a little diffuse – improving with time and even taking on a floral aspect. The nose is tight compared to the Clos St.Jacques – consequently rather understated. Width, complexity, dimension and concentration in the mouth. Excellent – the flavour really lingers
