Domaine Faiveley : Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand cru 2017

Deep, dark and mysterious, rich and velvety, this is another amazing 2017 Grand Cru from Faiveley. The enormous power is tucked away in the background, so that you barely notice it. Wonderful minerality, married to a caressing texture on the palate. Iron in the soul! Try to wait until 2023.

The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a wonderful nose of pure dark berry fruit, crushed stone, and touches of undergrowth and tobacco. It seems to grow in the glass. The palate is ripe and slightly pinched on the entry, with a touch of soy infusing the red berry fruit. Structured on the finish, but it feels just a little angular at the moment. Give it time to smooth out its creases. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
