The 2007 Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru is drinking beautifully at the moment. It has a pixilated bouquet that is utterly entrancing – red currant, bergamot, hints of pomegranate seeds and an underlying mineralite that is divine. The palate is perfectly balanced with extremely fine tannins. There is something regal and self-assured about this Clos-de-Beze, with a sense of weightlessness in the mouth that is bewitching. This both satisfies the senses and flirts with profundity. Dare I suggest this is too exquisite to cellar? Damn – I’ve just gone and done it. Drink now-2020.

Loads of sweet cherry, bilberry, plum, mineral and spice notes are matched to a firm, well-integrated structure. Dense and velvety, vibrant and long, with a pure fruit and mineral aftertaste. This doesn't want to quit on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2030. 27 cases imported. -BS
