Critics Ratings

“From bottle, the 2017 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru wafts from the glass with pretty aromas of cassis, cherries, black tea, rose petals and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, supple and satiny, with a textural attack, a fleshy, succulent core of fruit and a pure and expansive finish. Open-knit and charming, the wine's powdery, melting tannins are largely concealed. This is a generous, head-turning Clos de Bèze that delivers immense pleasure, albeit comparatively little in the way of profundity.” - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Apr 2019)

“Fairly straightforward after their Domaine Chambertin, with all the flavour perhaps still under lock and key. Plenty of concentration on the palate with a thick, fibrous texture on the finish. A long-term prospect.” - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, ++17/20 (Jan 2019)

“The nose has a restrained, mineral edge. Gun-smoke and flinty notes, wild herbs and sous bois with super fine cherries, as well as crushed red flowers. All very delicate this early in its journey. The palate has a sleek and appealingly powerful feel that expands fully on fine, long and fresh tannins. The regal finish is already impressive.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (Jan 2019)
