2023 Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru

This lives up to the great reputation of this legendary site, often claimed to be superior to Chambertin (and it is certainly older). A dazzling cornucopia of red fruit and summer-flower aromas. Very elegant tannic power on the medium-bodied palate, but it’s the finesse that takes your breath away. Extremely long, subtle finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in a half-and-half mix of new oak barriques and once-used casks.
