The Chambertin Clos de Bèze Les Ouvrées Rodin 2013 is a magnificent wine – although sligtly closed currently. The nose offer complex layers of fruit – red and blue berries – oak well integrated – and with a intense yet refined mineral note. On the palate layers of intense fruit – very elegant and detailed offering great length and depth. Not a power Clos de Bèze but a very refined and harmonious wine … this is truly impressive. Chapeau – a delightful Clos de Bèze in the making.
