Drank 2/19/18. Paired with roasted chicken.
The nose of sweet stewed plums and red berries is quite expressive. Still present, but mild, well integrated tannins lend structure to cassis and earth flavors. Medium finish. This could go a few more years, but is in a sweet spot now. I dont think it will improve further, so drink now. Fully mature.

11 Rion Bourgogne rouge: benchmark for the level. Perfect balance of terroir and new world sex appeal/freshness. Delicious. — 12 years ago
Pop and pour yesterday. Better than I remember my last btl being. On the nose: musty mulberry, vanilla, spice, rose. On the palate: good acidity, lovely density and weight...black pepper, mulberry and blackberry. Soft, finely grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 5 years ago
Nose has white pepper, spruce needles, cedar shavings, fresh cherry and mashed black currant.
Palate has pepper dusted mashed cherry, tart blueberry, black cherry, (light) limestone dust and (light) new oak. Medium levels of acidity/tannin help this wine to be very soft and enjoyable.

Love it. Still a little co2 on day 2. A little funky and super light. 90 gamay from Loire 10 poulsard. Beguet is becoming a new fav producer. Chambers wins again. Reminds me of ganevats many Vdfs but less than half the price. — 8 years ago
Excellent value from a great producer. Deep and earthy, bit more full bodied than you might expect. Aromatic and mouth filling with a long finish. Excellent choice from the somm at Blue Hill Stone Barns. — 9 years ago
