2010 Dominique Laurent Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Vieilles Vignes, France, Burgundy, Cotes de Nuits, Wine Review

Pop and pour, this was surprisingly open and accessible. Deep ruby in color, clear and bright. This is big and bold. On the nose, cherries, sandalwood, some black cherries and baking spice. Full bodied. On the palate, lots of fresh cherries and sour cherries with some underlying char. Delicious and vital. Long finish. This seems to be a five to ten years from full maturity but drinking well. It is great on its own and would delicious with salmon or tuna.

Great showing for this Premier Cru from the excellent 2005 vintage. Ruby/purple in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, chervil and spice. Medium bodied. On the palate, this is bigger than on the nose. Cherries, black cherries with some spice. Long finish. Drinking well at age 17, this should go another ten to fifteen more years. Better with food, this would work well with a seared Tuna Steak with a seared crust.

Great showing for this wine and in a perfect place of maturity. Garnett in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is beautifully perfumed with cherries, cinnamon, sandalwood and slight earthiness. Full bodied. On the palate, this clean with bright cherry fruit. Some underlying earthiness. Levels of complexity. Great balance. Long finish. This has big fruit. The oak is now integrated and the tannins are silky. Everything one could want in a Grand Cru at age 20. It drinks great on its own. Contemplative. It also worked well with food. While it might last longer, drink over

Splendid bottle consumed while still youthful but showing some maturity. Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is great with cherries, macerated cherries, slight earthiness, just a hint of oak spice. Medium to full bodied. Layers of cherries, black cherries, funk and spice. Light but present tannins. Yes, some funk and oak but overall very clean. Enough fruit to finish the job in another five years, but great now. Long finish. Contemplative on its own, this will work well with food as well. Anything from roasted duck to Kung Pao Chicken. This should easily go another f

Gorgeous wine. Pop and pour, this kept improving. Still needs another ten to twelve years to maturity. Ruby in color with slight brown hues, mostly clear and bright. The nose is great with cherries, black cherries, black tea, and moist earth. Full bodied. On the palate, this is layered but tight. Complex layers of earth, cherries and spice. Light tannins. Still has plenty of fruit and also oak to integrate. Long finish. Delicious. This should easily go another twenty to thirty years. Drink on its own or with any fowl or hearty sea food. This could easily work with a roast or

Sadly this was corked (TCA). Underneath it seemed like a very good, bold wine with plenty of depth. The TCA showed up almost immediately and but 30 minutes in, it was overwhelming.
