Goedhuis, December 2021
This great Grand Cru was a favourite of the monks of Cluny in the early days of classification. The Drouhin Laroze 1.5 hectares are particularly important. Having been planted in 1949 they are over 70 years old and produce fruit of exceptional quality and intensity, so again they de-stalked 100% in 2020. Such an exciting cuvée, bursting with violets and blueberry, a touch of fresh tobacco and cinnamon. Layers of weighted fruit are kept perfectly in place by taut tannins, with an enticing saline freshness at the end. Suave and sophisticated, nothing is missing in this wine.

Neal Martin, March 2022, Score: 95
The 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a very elegant bouquet with Earl Grey tinged red fruit. Wonderful composure here and very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, vibrant and fresh with a dash of black pepper towards the finish. This is superb.

Neal Martin, December 2021, Score: 95-97
The 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is composed and classy on the nose, blackberry and raspberry fruit, a touch of sous-bois and rose petal. This is magnificent! The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, perfectly judged acidity, the oak supremely well enmeshed with a tight-knit and quite persistent finish. This is well worth hunting down.

Burghound, January 2022, Score: 92-94
A markedly spicy and notably fresher nose freely offers up ripe aromas of cassis and black cherry coulis. The bigger yet more refined broad-shouldered flavors flash evident minerality on the compact, tightly wound and built-to-age finale. This could use better depth, but more should develop over the course of its aging curve. Drink: 2035+

Matthew Jukes, January 2022, Score: 18.5
Another stormer, this is a power-packed Clos de Bèze and it is a full-flavoured and full-bodied creation that still manages to retain a decent degree of poise and complexity. There is great potential here as this will inevitably be the longest-lived of the bunch!

Jasper Morris MW, December 2021, Score: 94-96
30% whole bunch vinification, and aged in 100% new wood. Dark intense purple. This has the most interesting nose to date of the grands crus because the least lush. More volume of fruit across the palate, less lush and more juicy, with a precision too. Tannins in balance, with just a hint of phenols at the finish.

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.
