Tasting notes
From a plot just above Chapelle-Chambertin, with some very old vines, this is firmer and richer than its neighbour further down the slope. It offers vibrant, mouth-watering red-berry fruit, with an appealingly approachable structure. The vibrant acidity carries the finish, with notes of florals and white pepper dancing on the tongue.

The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an attractive nose with red berry fruit, autumn leaves and subtle graphite scents, all gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. It's surprisingly creamy in texture and candied towards the finish, though lacks the intrinsic complexity of a truly great vintage. It becomes a little hard with aeration, unlike the Chambertin.
Offering up aromas of rich cherries, berries and plums mingled with spices and orange zest, and framed by toasty new oak, the 2021 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a seamless, enveloping profile and melting structuring tannins.
