(94-96 points) The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is 100% new oak and 100% whole clusters. It has quite an intense bouquet with brambly red fruit, white pepper and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, elegant and poised, white pepper notes with a harmonious, quite mineral-driven finish that incorporates the stems with style. Excellent. -Neal Martin

Perfumed and spicy, this red exudes floral, sandalwood, wild strawberry, currant and sweet spice notes accented by menthol. Sleek and solidly built, with an ethereal component and lingering finish. Elegant overall, yet this has the intensity and sustainability to develop over time. Best from 2028 through 2043. — B.S.
