PoB - Burgundy 2018 En Primeur (Hong Kong): During an En Primeur walkabout tasting, so only brief impressions. Also here I prefer the past few vintages to this. The richness of the vintage does not really add anything. The Gevery Jeunes Rois had good density but complexity was modest (90), the LSJ had a very nice and polished palate but felt a bit new Worldish (92). It seems that the Clos de Beze was able to handle the heat the best. It was a stunning wine already at this stage with good balance and complexity (96).

POB tasting EP18- Very similar to his 2018 LSJ. At this stage, it is hard to tell if it is justifable to buy the Beze. In fact, I much prefer his 2016 and 2017 vintage.

Only 4.5 barrels produced in 2018. Pierre Duroche owns 0.25ha, planted in 1920. The 2018 Clos de Beze has reached to another level, no new oak used, only 2 and 3 year old barrels used. 20% whole cluster. Gorgeous array of rich dark berries and black cherry. Broad-shouldered with complex nose of sleek minerals and sweet soil. A velvet textured Clos de Beze with refined nuances. A wine to look out for. (93-95/100)

Visite au Domaine Duroché: Vin puissant et très long, tanins magnifiques, un vin frais, profond, complet. Moins fin que Latricière, mais plus concentré et long. Grand vin. 95-96 pts
