Reviews

The 2017 Clos de Beze from Domaine Rousseau is an equally compelling wine in the making, but it is a bit the inverse right now of the Chambertin, as it is a bit more reserved on its youthful nose, but more open and flamboyant on the palate. The bouquet is very, very pure, precise and promising, offering up scents of red and black raspberries, cherries, raw cocoa, a very complex base of minerality, lovely spice tones and a very well-done framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and sappy at the core, with superb transparency and grip, ripe, seamless tannins and a very long, very energetic and vibrant finish. The wine is already suave and caressing on the attack, with all of this sappy reserve at the core and yet, it finishes completely defined by its complex minerality. A great wine.
Cyrielle prefers to serve this last as she finds the oak effect a bit stronger and the fruit darker. Richer more concentrated purple, the density is immediately apparent at the front, this has a more robust personality and an amazing length of dark raspberry fruit, black cherries too, just kept fresh by enough acidity. It may have just a fraction more intensity this year. 11/2018.
