Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2013

Subtle if not invisible wood serves as a backdrop for the mildly reduced nose so again do yourself a favour and decant this if you're going to crack one before 2020 or so. There is knock-out intensity to the gorgeously textured and mineral-inflected flavours that are imposingly scaled yet there is not even a hint of heaviness on the restrained, delineated and explosively long and mouth-coating finale. This is a breathtakingly robust and powerful Bèze that is going to require all of 20 years to reach its zenith.
