2019 Frederic Magnien Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru

BH91-94 The nose is at once both slightly riper and definitely spicier with its markedly floral nose of poached plum, dark berries and hint of cinnamon. There is better volume and power to the decidedly punchy large-scaled flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the focused, balanced and firmly structured finale.
One of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most historic grand cru plots, ‘Clos de Bèze’ was established by monks who planted vines here in 630. Facing east, on a gradual slope; soils are rich in limestone. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Aged in older barrels and clay jars. Unfined and unfiltered.
