🏰 The 2019 vintage for Bouchard Père & Fils Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is considered a standout, with winemaker Frédéric Weber expressing his love for it despite a challenging growing season. The winter was dry, spring saw frost and difficult flowering with 'coulure', and the summer was very hot with hydric stress. Despite these hurdles, meticulous vineyard management, including not de-leafing and adapting harvest times, resulted in wines of great density and freshness. The 2019 Chambertin Clos de Bèze is described as less controversial than its 2018 predecessor, offering notes of cherries, woodsmoke, dried flowers, licorice, and loamy soil. It's full-bodied, bright, and tightly wound, with real concentration and a long, precise finish. Critics note its sleek, cool, and restrained larger-scaled flavors, with power and drive building towards an intensely saline-suffused finish. This is a very classy wine with significant aging potential, expected to evolve effortlessly for the next two decades. 【Exceptional aging potential for two decades】. 🍴 This Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a superb companion for rich poultry, red meats, and game.
