Tasting notes
Like the Drouhin-Laroze Clos de Vougeot, this grand cru also has a distinctive balsamic tang. Red earth, rusty nail, beetroot and then this intense, concentrated sweetness that is almost like raisins. Persistent, urgent, strong. Tannins that feel like they’re encircling the wine. Lots of pepper and sumac and even chipotle. Smoky finish. Big and concentrated but the Clos de Bèze is carrying it off better than the Clos de Vougeot. (TC)

The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with vivacious brambly red fruit. It is very refined and poised with great transparency, yet there is power here (unusual in this vintage). A little edgier and more tensile than the Clos de Vougeot, the palate is medium-bodied with finely spun tannins and a sapid finish. Long and tender, this is deeply impressive.
