The 2020 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of orange rind, dark berries, cherries, licorice, black truffle and exotic spices. Full-bodied, velvety and multidimensional, it's layered and complete, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a long, resonant finish. This will be very long-lived.
Lovely dense mid purple, the nose has massive energy but not yet much detail. Then such an explosion of riotous fruit, joyously ripe pinot but still pure pinot. A little touch of menthol behind the ripe cherry notes with raspberry chaser. Amazing length. Very fine indeed. Tasted: November 2021
What a crazy nose, but in the best sense! Mulberry and blood orange – what a combination! Huge concentration and huge freshness, with zestiness that's really uplifting. And in combination with the great minerality that makes this an exceptionally exciting wine for the appellation. Dramatic vitality at the exuberant and very long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
