2023 Chambertin, Clos de Beze, Bruno Clair
Firm reduction and a touch of wood toast completely overshadows the fruit. More interesting are the super-sleek, intense and wonderfully detailed bigger-bodied flavors that also conclude in markedly structured, austere and built-to-age finale that displays even better depth and persistence. This too is clearly going to need extended keeping. ~ (96) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-1-2025
The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a delectable bouquet, so pure and refined, with razor-sharp delineation and gorgeous, vivacious red fruit tinged with bay leaf and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with red berry fruit, hints of dark chocolate and crushed stone minerality. It is wonderfully balanced, with a touch of black pepper lingering on the finish. Outstanding. ~ (97) Neal Martin, Vinous 1-1-2025
The 2023 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is also terrific, bursting with notes of dark berry fruit mingled with hints of peony, vine smoke, orange zest and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's elegantly fleshy, with supple tannins, succulent acids and a long, spicy finish. ~ (96) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025
