Crafted from some of the oldest vines in Chambertin Clos de Beze, Dominique Laurent chose to use his well-publicized 200% new oak technique on his 1997 (as with all his grand crus). Super-ripe red fruits, immersed in perfume, are found in this blockbuster's aromatics. It is a massive, extraordinarily deep, powerful, and medium to full-bodied wine. Highly detailed, elegant, precise, and pure, it regales the palate with fresh red fruits, immersed in toasty vanilla imbued oak. Projected maturity: 2002-2012. Importer: ???????????

A multifaceted, complex and impressive Pinot Noir. Vanilla and mocha aromas are the first impressions in this deep and full-bodied wine, followed by a velvety mouthfeel, with clean and pure red berry and blackberry notes and a citrusy undertow. Sweet tannins on the succulent finish. Drink now through 2010.??–null??Region: France / Burgundy / Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Select to Add
