According to Frederic Magnien, his 2002 Chambertin Clos de Beze is fashioned from a parcel located high on the hillside. Its hugely spicy, rich, blackberry and dark cherry-scented nose leads to an ample, ripe, powerful personality. Medium to full-bodied, highly concentrated, and noble, its character is crammed with a myriad of dark fruits, cola, and licorice. Its exceptionally long finish reveals lots of superbly ripened tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016.
