Chambertin Clos de Beze Cuvee du Frene 2019 Laurent Ponsot

Professionelle Bewertungen

Jasper Morris (95)

The soft voluptuous fruit of a relatively late picked wine, medium purple, soft and luscious on the palate with very good length. This will make a thoroughly enjoyable wine for drinking in the not too distant future, but lacks the grip of a great example for long term keeping.

Jancis Robinson (18.50)

Bright cherry hue, quite surprisingly translucent. Pungent strawberry and Griotte cherry; fresh, concentrated and linear with an almost liqueur-like kernel of sweet flavour – an artery, as it were. Very refined and restrained on the mid palate, definitely holding out for later. Could almost be coy, were it not so obviously powerful. Simply delicious and deadly serious. Very fine, patrician and long lived. (MH)

discreet but not invisible dose of wood does not detract from the purity of the elegant, airy and exuberantly spicy array of red currant, rose petal, lavender and forest floor scents. The succulent, indeed borderline plump, and refined middle weight flavors flash first-rate tension and delineation on the compact and serious finish where hints of warmth and mocha emerge. This is excellent and while it's certainly constructed to reward extended cellaring, it's not so backward as to foreclose the possibility of enjoying this after 8 or so years.

This Clos de Bèze impresses with pronounced, ripe aromas of black plum, cherry and a complex depth of flavour that includes elements of earth, mineral and spice. The texture on the palate is dense but open, velvety and approachable, with the extract and tannin to age, but nothing to impede early enjoyment. A beautiful reflection of the site and the vintage in tandem.
