2021 Chambertin, Clos de Beze, Bouchard Pere et Fils

The 2021 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis and blackberries mingled with spices and licorice. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it's supple and fleshy, with broad shoulders and a long, resonant finish. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-31-2023

Once again there is a plethora of floral nuances present on the spicier aromas of red berries, especially wild currant, along with hints of wood, menthol and earth. There is first-rate energy and beautiful detail to the seductively textured and enveloping middleweight plus flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the compact, firm, long and classy finale. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 4-10-2023
