The 2009 Chambertin-Clos de Beze is quite a bit darker and richer than the Chambertin. It is a grand, sweeping wine that overtakes the palate with its intense fruit. Rose petals, sweet cherries, spices and minerals emerge from this drop-dead gorgeous, large-scaled Burgundy. The fruit remains fresh, vibrant and powerful through to the massive finish. The Beze will require patience, but it will be worth the wait. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2044. I tasted an impressive range of wines with Jacques Lardiere and his successor Frederic Barnier, who is slated to take over when Lardiere retires at the end of 2012. Jadot makes a mind-bending number of wines, but I limited myself to the best 35 or so examples. In 2009 Jadot began harvesting on September 6. All of the reds were made from 100% destemmed fruit. Maceration times varied from wine to wine, but according to Lardiere all of the wines were made with essentially the same approach. Lardiere is another of the producers who compares 2009 to 1959, and believes the wines will age well because of their density of fruit and minerality. Many of the estate’s own vineyards are farmed biodynamically, but of course Jadot also sources a significant amount of wine from other growers that is not necessarily from biodynamically farmed vineyards.Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel.
