Red Wine from Chambertin Clos De Beze

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Round and juicy, offering a plush well of cherry, raspberry, tobacco and spice flavors. Vivid, revealing broad, ripe tannins on the finish. Shows terrific length and overall balance, ending with an elegant feel. Best...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Damoy's 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru was one of the highlights of the entire tasting. It has a showstopper of a nose with brilliantly defined black plum, cranberry...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: Medium red. Exotic candied raspberry, game, rose petal and crushed stone on the come-hither nose. Delivers outstanding clarity of flavor without any hard edges, with the red berry and mineral flavors lifted by a floral...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH92-95 points) An extraordinarily spicy and complex nose evidences cool, fresh and admirably pure aromas of cassis, red berries and plum. There is a floral note on the remarkably rich, concentrated and extract-rich...

View From The Cellar, 95 points: (JG94-95+ points) The 2012 Clos de Bèze had been bottled at the end of October, but was still showing very well in mid-November, wafting from the glass in a superb aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH91-93 points) Moderate wood frames exuberantly spicy and fresh red and dark berry fruit that carries ample Gevrey-style earth and underbrush influences. There is good size, weight and volume to the admirably intense...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 96 points: (ST94-96 points) Bright, full red. Great sex appeal to the aromas and flavors of exotic raspberry coulis, lichee, rose petal and crushed stone. Large-scaled, plush and rich, showing an almost confectionery sweetness...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) (made from 100-year-old vines in the climat La Cabane Rose, on calcaire soil in the heart of the cru, according to Laurent): Healthy dark red. The nose conveys a powerful impression of soil character with...

Burghound, 94 points: (92-94) Dramatically earthy, spicy and sappy black pinot fruit beautifully frame the dense, intense, superbly complex flavors that are supported by ripe, solid, firm tannins and incredible length. As good as several of...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: Medium red. Highly nuanced yet quite primary on the nose, offering scents of raspberry, underbrush, dried rose, ginger and smoky oak. Juicy, saline and quite dry, with dark berry and strawberry flavors complicated by an...

Burghound, 96 points: (93-96) Discreet but not invisible wood serves as a backdrop for the airy, ripe and very pure red and dark cherry, earth and wonderfully broad-ranging spice notes. There is terrific punch to the big, robust, tautly...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 96 points: (ST93-96 points) (70% vendange entier; 100% new oak; these 80-year-old vines produced 37 hectoliters per hectare in 2013): Bright, dark red. Lovely pepper-and-spice lift to the aromas of red cherry, rose petal and...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: This is broad and meaty, with underlying animal and woodsy elements playing off the core flavors of cherry, currant and mineral. Firm and lively, with a solid grip on the lingering after- taste, this is fluid and...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 93 points: Mid to dark crimson but no hint of blue. Firm and rich and dense. But actually a top layer of fragility that adds interest. Very rich and sweet. Tense and nervous. Lots of autumnal undergrowth. Reverberant. Slightly...
