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, wild strawberry, sous bois and minerals. You just have to stop and admire the clarity of the aromatics here. The palate is extremely well balanced with a fine bead of acidity interwoven through the black cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit. There is the structure and masculinity of a Clos de Bèze, and yet it is certainly not unapproachable at this premature stage. Fabulous. You can feel the mouth still tingling long after the wine has departed. Quite brilliant. Tasted September 2017. - Neal Martin

(BH92-94 points) Heavy reduction and soft spice elements make for a nose that is hard to properly evaluate. However, the attractively vibrant, rich, round, opulent and suave medium weight plus flavors possess excellent dry extract levels that buffer the very firm yet refined tannins on the impressively enduring finish. This mildly austere and imposingly structured effort possesses fine development potential despite being youthfully awkward today.
