Chambertin Clos de Bèze Bouchard 2012 is a Grand Cru sourced from one of Burgundy`s most renowned vineyards. Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils manages this esteemed site, characterised by its east-facing slope and limestone-rich soils that favour Pinot Noir. The wine underwent 18 months of maturation in 100% new French oak barrels, contributing to its structure. Aromas of black cherry and raspberry emerge, complemented by hints of toasted spice. The 2012 vintage displays significant depth, with a robust mouthfeel sharpened by its natural acidity, leading to nuanced layers of liquorice and earthy undertones as it evolves.

Deep, bright red. Knockout vibrant nose combines purple and red berries, crushed stone, violet and animal fur. Lush, thick and deep but with terrific chalky energy animating the middle palate. Conveys striking depth to its red fruit and floral flavors, with the 45% new oak practically invisible today. Finishes with huge but round, noble tannins and outstanding lingering sweetness. In a more opulent style than the potentially great 2013, and probably for drinking before that wine.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2015

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Bouchard Père et Fils has an earthy, rather subdued nose that lacks the complexity and the energy displayed by Rousseau`s Clos-de-Bèze 2012. There is something a little dour here. The palate is reduced on the entry although there seems to be decent substance underneath. Chewy and rustic, this needs to nurture more finesse and precision, though it would not surprise me if time smooths out the edges. Dumb phase? Quite possibly. - Neal Martin

Complex and inviting aroma of spicy cherry and the freshness of slight stalkiness. Tight and lively and promising on the palate, with a lift that many of the Bouchard reds seem to lack in this vintage. On the leaner side but elegant and fresh. (JH)
