Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Domaine Bruno Clair 2013

**Note: two-thirds of the .98 ha parcel of vines was planted in 1912 and the remainder in 1973**
This is as cool and restrained as the Clos St. Jacques though the nose is a good deal spicier and more complex with its mélange of floral, pomegranate, tobacco and broad range of red berry fruit scents. There is a really beguiling mix of detail, tension, power and volume to the big-bodied flavors that possess plenty of supporting dry extract on the saline, austere and beautifully balanced finale. I very much like the length but note well that this is not going to be an especially good candidate for early consumption.
