Tasting note
The two barrels worth of Le Moine 2007 Chambertin Clos De Beze combine unanticipated aromas of blueberry with the more predictable but lovely dark cherry, licorice, rose petal, and blood orange rind. There is almost a honeyed sense of sweet richness on a palate of seductive silkiness, but there is irresistibly juicy fresh fruit persistence, and suggestions of soy and rare beef juices remind one of the animal and mineral dimensions possessed by all great red Burgundy. Citrus zest and brown spice notes add a further invigoration to a finish both rich and vivacious. Cellar some of this for 10-12 years if not longer to showcase one of the high points of its vintage.
Score: 95-96
