The Wine Insiders Review
Rated 95
Oh, to enjoy a good Bordeaux. Sadly, with the exception of wildly expensive bottlings, I often find the experience a bit underwhelming. Well, here's some good news: The 09 Chateau Beard La Chappelle Grand Cru is under $50 (barely!) and yet has the stature and body of one of those pricey bottles. Truly, this is one of those rare finds.
Exquisite ruby color with intense ebony hue. Captivatingly complex nose of gingerbread, black cherry, rose, cinnamon and bitter chocolate. Round and full-bodied, rich and weighty on the palate. Superb concentration of spice, kirsch and semi-sweet chocolate on the finish with an exotic cinnamon note lasting a full minute. This is an exceptional wine that may be enjoyed after decanting (15 minutes) tonight but will continue reward those with patience, peaking 2016 - 2017 in our estimate.
Wine Tasting Notes
Very deep color with still purple lights. Incredibly complex nose of gingerbread, black cherry, rose, mint and bitter chocolate. Rounded fullbodied, rich and very full on the palate. Rich and concentrated. Spice, kirsch and bitter chocolate on the finish. This is an exceptional wine.
