The 2012 Chambertin “Clos de Bèze” from Louis Jadot is another superb bottle in the making, delivering a deep, pure and primary bouquet of red and black cherries, red plums, dark soil tones, grilled meat, a touch of nutskin, woodsmoke, mustard seed and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with plenty of structure, a superb core of fruit, strong soil inflection, ripe tannins and outstanding length and grip on the perfectly balanced and still very, very young finish. 2025-2075. John Gilman 95 The 2012 Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru, which like the Chapelle-Chambertin is domaine-owned, has a more voluminous, multi-faceted bouquet with engaging incense and mineral notes infusing the beautifully defined black fruits. The palate is very well balanced on the entry with more tension and nervosite than the Chambertin, building effortlessly towards a quite regal, sophisticated finish whose mineralite lingers long in the mouth. Outstanding. Wine Advocate 95-97
