Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 93-96pts
After 2016 Faiveley pulled out oldest vines which were not of great quality. The 2017 Chambertin Clos de Bèze offers a dense red purple colour. The nose shows some refinement, indeed is quite discreet. Then the flavour starts to build and is married well with the oak. The latter is quite present on the palate but does not dry out the predominantly red fruit. It is an elegant Clos de Bèze of medium intensity but with the expected purity and refinement.
Deep, dark and mysterious, rich and velvety, this is another amazing 2017 Grand Cru from Faiveley. The enormous power is tucked away in the background, so that you barely notice it. Wonderful minerality, married to caressing texture on the palate. Iron in the soul! Try to wait until 2023.
The 2017 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru comes from two parcels. It has a charming bouquet of ebullient raspberry and wild strawberry aromas; hints of vanilla pod and rose petal lend complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, gentle grip and a saline, oyster-shell-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is one of Faiveley’s most impressive offerings in 2017. Superb.
An exuberantly spicy and attractively fresh nose offers up notes of red currant, essence of plum and ample floral influences, all of which is surrounded by much more subtle wood influence. The refined and pure middle weight flavors possess excellent delineation and verve while delivering very fine complexity and persistence on the youthfully austere finish. Like many of the wines in the range, this is not especially dense but it is beautifully harmonious and well-balanced plus the dense but fine tannins should assure a long life.
