2014 Faiveley, Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru 6x150cl

Vinous – 94+

Bright, full red Alluring, terroir-driven aromas of raspberry, minerals, dried flowers, smoky oak and game Supple on entry, then reticent and taut in the middle, but already showing outstanding energy and depth, not to mention a slightly musky wildness, to its flavors of raspberry, smoky oak and dried flowers Between the wine’s firm acidity, great mineral verve, strong tongue-dusting tannins and finishing grip, this outstanding Clos de Bèze is going to require considerable patience and should evolve positively for up to three decades My bottle held up for days in the recorked bottle [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2027-2042

Deepish crimson. Deep, dark-fruited aroma with some sweet oak spice and even a hint of orange. Tannins are pretty firm but feel malleable for the future if quite dry now. Refined and persistent but lacking flesh – perhaps it will fill out a bit. (JH) [11/11/2015]
