Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin - Clos De Bèze 2013

95-97 / 100 Robert Parker
The 2013 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a more complex, nuanced bouquet than the Clos Saint Jacques and this year, it insists upon putting distance between the two. It has an effortless quality, unfurling with each swirl dark berried fruit, subtle moss/undergrowth tones that are almost autumnal. The palate is tensile, intense, focused and underpinned by filigree tannins that lend it magnificent sophistication. This is utterly harmonious and an outstanding wine for the vintage.

Reduced to 80% new oak from 100% for the first time. Just a trial because Eric has found it with a bit too much new oak in the past. Very glamorous nose – rich and glossy and chock full of fruit. Very sweet and rich with massive power and corsetry and drive. Not at all marked by oak! Reminds me a little of the Leroy style.

Subtle if not invisible wood serves as a backdrop for the mildly reduced nose so again do yourself a favor and decant this if you're going to crack one before 2020 or so. There is knock-out intensity to the gorgeously textured and mineral-inflected flavors that are imposingly scaled yet there is not even a hint of heaviness on the restrained, delineated and explosively long and mouth coating finale. This is a breathtakingly robust and powerful Bèze that is going to require all of 20 years to reach it zenith.
