Chambertin, Clos de Bèze--Vintage 1997
Côte de Nuits, Rousseau
In original carton
"Classic Clos de Bèze spice and abundant warm Gevrey earth notes lead to expressive, rich, medium weight, intense flavors of admirable depth and length and this too has retained a bit of finishing wood. This is a lighter Bèze by the reference standard Rousseau quality but the breed and sheer class are indisputably present. I very much like this wine because it avoids the pitfalls of the vintage and delivers real elegance and a bit more overall harmony than the '97 Chambertin as it is fashioned in a slightly more understated style than is typical chez Rousseau."
