Bouchard Pere & Fils, Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2021

"Not domaine, but sourced from their usual plot of 0.70ha which delivered a fairly full crop in 2021. Just 30% whole bunch vinification. Full deep red plum and peach fruit, a bouquet which might want freshening. A delicious and accurate style of Clos de Bèze on the palate, with some strawberries now at the back of the palate. Minor tannins, good persistence. " – Jasper Morris, MW

"Once again there is a plethora of floral nuances present on the spicier aromas of red berries, especially wild currant, along with hints of wood, menthol and earth. There is first-rate energy and beautiful detail to the seductively textured and enveloping middleweight plus flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the compact, firm, long and classy finale." -
