Faiveley 2021 Chambertin Clos de Beze 750ml

A background dollop of wood is present on the overtly spicy nose of red and blue pinot fruit along this hints of herbal tea and crushed fennel. The mouthfeel of the slightly bigger flavors is much like that of the Mazis, which his to say suave and caressing while delivering better length if slightly less complexity. This balanced effort should be approachable after only 6 to 7 years but amply reward 12 to 15.
