Very aromatic, featuring lavender, jasmine and spice aromas and flavors. Underneath lie the cherry and raspberry notes. It's elegant and racy, with a firm structure and long mineral finish. Best from 2010 through 2020. 55 cases imported. -BSInc. TAX€4,207.46 -

A fresh nose mixes both natural and wood spice together with rose petal, wild red currant and intense earthiness that also suffuses the cool, elegant, admirably pure and beautifully well-detailed flavors that culminate in a linear, austere and hugely long finish. This should be first rate but like all of these grands crus, it will not be an early drinker.Inc. TAX€1,974.72 -

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The oak comes through stronger than on Drouhin-Laroze’s Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2011 compared to Bruno Clair. The fruit is broodier and only reluctantly reveals blackberry and wild raspberry scents, touches of orange blossom later. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, thickset tannins that lend this weight and muscle. Bold and forward with touches of spice and white pepper toward the finish, this is an assertive Clos de Bèze that will require several years in bottle.Inc. TAX€1,124.17 -
(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (92+)
Bright medium red. Strong oak tones partly mask aromas of red berries, rose petal and medicinal menthol. At once dense and taut, with savory, firm-edged flavors of cranberry, minerals and white pepper giving the middle palate an incisive character. Not a fleshy wine--in fact a bit youthfully compressed today--but finishes perfumed, focused and long, with pepper and saline mineral notes displaying a slightly tart edge.Inc. TAX€1,057.98 -

The 2015 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is raised in 80% new oak with 20% whole bunch. It has a very detailed and focused bouquet with precise blackberry, raspberry and morello cherry aromas neatly infused with mineral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, powerful without losing control and building towards a very structured, spicy finish. Whilst I would still dial down the oak to 50-60%, nevertheless it remains a very well-crafted Chambertin with plenty of substance and ambition, and that ain't a bad thing when you are a Clos-de-Bèze.Inc.

The 2016 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru was made from two cuvées, one destemmed and the other not, so that there is around 30% whole bunch. It has a very well-defined bouquet with outstanding tension and focus. The palate is pure and silky smooth, more red fruit than black, very harmonious with very well-integrated new oak (80%). This is the best that the domaine has ever made. Period. Chapeau Nicolas and Caroline.Inc. TAX€2,635.46 -

The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru includes 30% whole-bunch fruit, though this is the one grand cru where you cannot detect the stem addition, just the copious dark cherry, raspberry, cedar and undergrowth aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is supple on the entry, the acidity neatly counterbalancing the intensity of the fruit. This Clos-de-Bèze has real grip and an arching structure on the finish, suggesting that it will be a seriously long-lived wine. Excellent.Inc. TAX€994.08 -

Containing 30% whole bunch and 80% new oak, the 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of candied black fruit, orange blossom and light sous-bois scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite dense and muscular, though with satisfying freshness and tension toward the finish, a bit of orange zest livening up the proceedings. I would have liked just a bit more transparency overall.Inc. TAX€757.32 -

All of the family's fruit is toward the bottom of Clos de B ze, around the "Ici Commence le Chambertin" sign and the stone hut, or la cabotte. Sultry and bold, this is packed with floral and branch notes, likely thanks in part to the 30% whole bunches. The palate follows on with black currants and a supremely firm wall of finely-grained tannins. There's crushed slate and grilled meat notes along with spice in spades on the long and notably refreshing finish. Don't rush to open this one. 2026-48Inc. TAX€863.17 -

The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has noticeable menthol scents on the nose, not as strong as some of the other '21s in the tasting, yet it lurks behind the attractive red berry fruit and briar scents. The palate is ripe and sweet on the entry with that menthol note becoming more prominent. Fine definition, a little chewy and spicy towards the finish. It just misses a bit of grace and elegance, though that might well manifest with bottle age, during which I hope it dispenses with that incongruous menthol aroma.

The 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has plenty of lilting dark plum and strawberry fruit on the nose, nicely defined and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple coffee-tinged black fruit, the Seguin Moreau oak coming on quite strong toward the finish that slightly obscures the terroir expression. Like some of the other of Drouhin-Laroze's 2013s, last year's offering was showing much better.Inc. TAX€1,661.74 -

The 2014 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a noticeable dark colour. There is plenty of dark cherry and black plum fruit on the nose, quite fresh with violet scents developing with aeration, though not a complex bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with quite fine tannin and well judged acidity. It is a linear Chapelle-Chambertin, a correct grand cru with a straightlaced finish that needs just a little more persistence.Inc. TAX€1,682.77 -

The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru matures with 25% whole bunches and in 80% new wood. It has quite an intense bouquet with small black cherry, blackcurrant and subtle pressed iris flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, very cohesive in the mouth. The wood integrates nicely on the finish even if I would have just dialed it down. Maybe a little more personality on the finish is needed to get up there with the best from this Grand Cru.Inc. TAX€825.18 -

The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a nuanced bouquet with red berries, briar and bay leaf, a pinch of brown spice emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit on the entry, brittle tannins and touches of Earl Grey infusing the red berry fruit. A little spicier on the finish than its peers, this is a fine Grand Cru that perhaps just lacks a bit of length and density. Maybe it will gain that with age?
