Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 95
The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a sensual and pure bouquet with red cherries, redcurrant jus, crushed stone and pressed rose petals that gradually unfurls in the glass and ends up being more expressive than the Latricières-Chambertin. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, fleshy and perhaps the most dense of Duroché’s 2017s, real grip on the spicy finish. Superb.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2042
Wine Advocate 95
The 2017 Chambertin-Clos de Beze Grand Cru is the most brooding of Duroche’s wines, wafting from the glass with a rich bouquet of mulberries, plums and wild berries, mingled with smoked meats, incense, spices and rich soil tones. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with a rich and layered core, succulent acids and a long, intensely sapid finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2050
