Gorgeous roses and soft plum. A super expressive and beautiful nose. Just goes in forever and the fruit is so poised and succulent. Sift, delicious and long- this is brilliant stuff

Intense. Bright plum with iron and dark cherry. A hint of wood and gorgeous texture. Beautiful stuff.

Detailed and pure with plum, black cherry, a silky, rounded texture. Absolutely forgoes. Quite quiet alongside the other two Beze. So sophisticated.

Soft dark fruit. Black cherry, blue fruit, a minerality and iron note gives this a lush brooding midpalate. Super lean and delicious. Time ahead but great now.

Supple floral nose with soft raspberry and a gorgeously expressive and enticing nose. Long, haunting and light. Oh lord.

Sappy and vital. Gorgeous soft opening. Still quite young and with a way to go. Very pretty. Loads of dense and delicious fruit. Needs time to unfurl. Very, very good substance

Great! Still very young with apparent oak, but so seductive at this stage. A real “power without weight” wine and in a way, almost an antithesis of the Roty. Red fruit dominated, with flowers, spices, heaps of minerality, and traces of meat. Powerful, especially in Rousseau-sense, yet so elegant and pure with lacy textures and superb salinity. Boah! I really did love the minerality here. Drinking so well now, but will take some time before it hits its peak (NB: the mind-bending 76’ Beze we had a few months back is surely proof).
