Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
Grand Cru 2014
(£870 Go, J&B, Jer)
Some
Clos de Bèze wines
can
be
closed and unapproachable in their youth, but this
isn't
one of them.
It's
another complex, nuanced, all-too-drinkable Grand Cru from
Caroline Drouhin. Fine tannins, notes of fresh tobacco and red cherry and strawberry fruit underscored by minerality. 2019-25

Latricières-Chambertin
Grand Cru 2014
(£690 HH&C, Go, J&B)
The change of generation in 2014 has resulted in a shift in style at this
domaine, xith
less
evident extracton in the wines.
This is
a very
attractive, perfumed Latricières with subtle, refined oak, spicy, succulent, red
berry
flavours, a lick of chalk and a lingering finish. 2019-25

Bonnes Mares
Grand Cru 2014
(£730 HH&C, Go, J&B, Jer)
Sourced from
a 1,5 hectare parcel of Bonnes Mares on red
soils
on the Morey
side
of the Grand Cru, this
is
another finely judged wine from Caroline Drouhin. Oak
balance, sweet
berry
fruit, a hint
of good reduction and textured, nuanced tannins. A domaine that's on the up. 2019-25
