At once silky and penetrating, showing a positive medicinal aspect to its flavors of red berries, flowers and spicy herbs.

The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, enormous depth and great concentration, perhaps the most Musigny-esque of the Bonnes-Mares. Great length but it needs some serious cellaring.

Mounts inexorably toward the back, finishing with a tactile, dusty quality and coating the palate with fruit and stone. But this very backward wine shows less early sweetness than the Clos Saint-Jacques. The crop level of 35 hectoliters per hectare was normal for this parcel, noted Clair. |

Wine Advocate (95)Smoky black tea, rose petals, dark berries, and licorice waft seductively (and site-typically) from the glass of Clair 2006 Chambertin Clos De Beze. Seamlessly-rich and refined in tannins, this offers a gorgeous layering of flavors anchored in clean meatiness and suggestions of stoniness and crystalline minerality that carry no sense of austerity. While missing the remarkable dynamic of the Clos St.-Jacques, in its own way this supremely elegant, intriguingly-nuanced, and memorably persistent Pinot is a model for the vintage and of its great site's potential year in, year out. Plan to give it 3-4 years of rest before savoring it for the 6-8 that follow. |
