    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This was the first wine with which the Drouhins practiced what they call “vinification integrale”, vinifying in a 500L barrel – originally a question of volume, but now a conscious decision used in a wider range of wines due to the control it gives during vinification and the texture it achieves in the final wines. This was restrained and quite tightly wound on the day we tasted it, air bringing out touches of whole cluster spice and flowers amongst a savoury, briary fruit set – red and brown tones here, touches of autumnal splendour. Long, yet controlled, this has a softly spoken power, with a wonderful texture, and while there are plenty of tannins, they are supple, with edges smoothed. Beautifully composed and very smart.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru, which tends to be picked a little later than other cuvées, takes a while to open in the glass, with mainly black fruit and hints of black olive, a subtle marine influence coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, merging with more red fruit on the mid-palate, finishing with a touch of sour cherry. Very fine.
