Goedhuis, December 2019
A true pearl, a wine of polish and complexity with dark black fruit aromas and hints of cocoa. This is full and broad, whilst always subtle. The grainy tannic core provides additional dimension to the black cherry flavours. Restrained, composed and very long.

Neal Martin, January 2020, Score: 95-97
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. 2023 - 2050

Burghound, January 2020, Score: 89-92
More moderate though definitely not neutral wood influence sets off the ripe and overtly spicy liqueur-like poached plum scents. Once again there is good vibrancy and detail to the lightly stony larger-scaled flavors that are also shaped by somewhat grippy and grainy tannins on the mildly warm finish. Drink 2035+

Jasper Morris MW, January 2020, Score: 93-97
Dense black purple, the nose is really quite exciting, softly ripe of course with very dark fruit, luxurious in the mouth but the terroir still reasserts itself with a stricter precision. For a wine showing this ripeness of fruit, it has nonetheless managed to retain admirable finesse. Could be a star.

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: parents Christine and Philippe, and children Caroline and Nicolas. They have an embarrassment of riches within their armoury of four 1ers Crus and six exceptional Grands Crus, culminating with plots of both Clos de Bèze and Le Musigny. They also boast one of the finest two storey cellars in the Côte d’Or, built by members of the Prussian military on their way back from the Hundred Years War, with ideal conditions maintaining perfect temperatures for Philippe’s preferred two-year élevage in cask.The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.Read less

Chambertin Clos de Bèze
Gevrey-Chambertin has more Grand Crus than any other appellation in Burgundy. Unusually wines from Clos de Beze may simply call themselves Chambertin, which is an indicator of the quality of these vineyards. One of the most complete of all the Grand Crus, rivalling the revered Romanee-Conti, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze wines are the pinnacle of Pinot Noir - fragrant, powerfully complex and intense.
