2010 Louis Jadot, Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru 6x75cl

JancisRobinson.com – 17.0

Heady, mushroomy nose. Lots of bright cherry fruit. Great zest. But overall a tad tight and serious. Worth following if you can afford it. This may well open out to be glorious but is very tight now. [18/11/2011]

Anticipated maturity: 2019-2032

Vinous – 97+

Full medium red. Great lift and sweetness to the multidimensional aromas of raspberry, white pepper, orange peel, spices and smoky minerals. An incredible stony expression of terroir, remarkably sweet and supple for a wine that already appears to be shutting down in the bottle. The penetrating flavors of raspberry, crushed stone and minerals show brilliant precision and sappiness. Finishes with serious but noble tannins and outstanding palate-staining length and thrust. This great grand cru resounds on the finish like very few Burgundies from this or any other vintage. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2013]

Robert Parker – 95-97

The 2010 Chambertin-Clos de Beze is quite a bit more floral and perfumed than the Chambertin. It exudes sheer personality and class. An endless bouquet redolent of violets, licorice, tar and spice melds into dark red and blue berry fruit. White flowers and mint add an exciting upper register to the brilliant, pure finish. This is another breathtaking 2010 from Jadot. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045. [01/02/2012]
