2009 Chanson Pere et Fils, Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru 1x75cl

Burghound – 91-94

In contrast to the expressiveness of many of the foregoing wines, this is almost mute aromatically though aggressive swirling coaxes grudging notes of spice and ripe red berry fruit. The cool, restrained and discreetly mineral-driven flavors possess real drive and gorgeous detail on the extremely firm but persistent finish. This classy effort is very much built for long-term aging and as such, will not be for everyone. [06/05/2011]
