justerini & brooks tasting note

Where Griotte is upright and stony, this is driven by dancing sweet berry fruit, a nimble yet layered Grand Cru with a sense of ripe luminosity. Disarmingly charming and engaging, with a lively energy and a crumbly mineral dimension underpinning the fruit. Complexity will come in time, for now this is all about joy.

critic reviews

94-95/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, plums, spices and espresso roast. Full-bodied, ample and velvety, it's seamless and fleshy, with lively acids and a long, gently oak-inflected finish. It's the usual blend of domaine and purchased fruit.

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru undergoes two vinifications from Drouhin's own parcel and one from purchased fruit that was picked late. It has an intense nose with raspberry, mulberry, licorice and bergamot notes. The palate is medium-bodied and here that late-picked fruit does make its mark, perhaps shaving away some of the delineation and nerve that I discerned on the previous vintage. It is quite peppery on the finish and aftertaste. Give this four or five years in a bottle.
