Domaine Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze 2019

The 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze has Intense ruby red hue, a well-defined, very delineated bouquet of red and black fruit laced with graphite and light tobacco aromas, quite austere at first but opening up with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit.

The acidity here is well judged, and there is the same kind of salinity as the Latricières toward the tannic finish. This will require 5–6 years in bottle to shave its edges, but it will be worth it.

Serve with Partridge with morel mushrooms, scrambled eggs with truffles, game stew.
