This is perhaps one of the longest-lived wines from Faiveley in 1987. This unfiltered wine has magnificent color. The Clos de Beze has a beautifully rich, spicy, fragrant, intense bouquet of berry fruit, toasty oak, as well as the smell of new saddle leather. On the palate the wine shows excellent, even outstanding depth, wonderful elegance, ripeness, and moderate tannins; it should be every bit as good as the beautiful 1980. I cannot say that the Chambertin-Clos de Beze is as superb as their 1988 or 1985, but it is a beautifully made wine that should be at its best in about 4 to 5 years and should last 12 to 15 years.
