The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is one of Frederic Magnien's deepest colored 2012s. It has a linear, conservative but delineated bouquet with mulberry, dark cherries, a touch of sous-bois and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, nicely judged acidity and plenty of substance on the finish. A little primal at the moment, give this three or four years in bottle.
