Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

2006 Clair Bruno Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. Tight again – hard to get at the aromas. In the mouth I think it lacks a little focus, but the dimension and complexity are easy to see. Less obviously forward and ‘brusque’ as the Clos St.Jacques, but the finish goes on and on…

2006 Bouchard Père et Fils Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

The same supplier for the last 17 years – so Philippe Prost suggests it can virtually be considered ‘domaine’. Wide and complex if not so deep as Le Corton. In the mouth it’s intense and complex with super acidity and plenty of tannin. It’s very long, though a good proportion of that length is oak derived. Always an excellent bottling.

2006 Potel Nicolas Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

A step-up in just about every direction. The nose is wide and interesting and the palate delivers both depth and dimension. Like the 2005, this is another super Bèze chez Potel.
