2012 Bruno Clair Burgundy









2012 Bruno Clair Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers ... $ 169.99
The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers has a more serious, inward-looking bouquet compared to its fellow premier crus with silky black fruit that remain stoic at this prenatal stage. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent opening before the tannins kick in, rendering the finish more foursquare and structure. Good depth here with fine persistency, this Gevrey-Chambertin will probably require several years in bottle.

2012 Bruno Clair Chambertin Grand Cru Beze...$ 399.99
The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru: has a goal Focused tight bouquet with mineral-rich red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, citrus peel and Almost a touch of flint. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with very fine tannins. It is reticent at first intended it unfurls wondrously in the month with sparkling red fruit infused with orange zest and fabulous nervousness That keep the mouth tingling long partner after the wine HAS bid farewell. This is one of the finest Clos de Beze That I-have Encountered from the field. Good wine!
Rated 95-97 / 100 The Wine Advocate
A huge, vertical wine, Bruno Clair's 2012 Chambertin Clos de Beza is endowed with serious structure. Layers of dark, expressive fruit are supported by beams of minerality and acidity. This is an Especially sleek, gracious Beza, goal There Is Plenty of power lurking in the background. Layers of voluptuous fruit Nearly cover the tannins in a majestic Beza That shoulds drink well for Many Years.
Rated 94-96/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Tasting note: A discreet hint of wood allows the slightly riper and definitely spicier aromas of earth, humus, dark berries and soft sauvage notes to shine. There is excellent power to the muscular and broad-shouldered flavors that also brim with structure-buffering dry extract that coats the palate on the mineral-driven, punchy and seriously persistent finish. This is a Bèze of power and finesse though note that unlike many 2012s this is clearly built for the long haul.
Rated 93-95/100 Allen Meadows, Burghound
