(93-95 points) The 2022 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is the maiden vintage, the only cuvée Mortet does not farm himself, though he assured that he buys top quality grapes from the grower who owns a large part of the Grand Cru. It has a refined bouquet with pure redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, wonderful mineralité, crushed stone and oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins on the entry. It has fine depth but perhaps not quite the complexity of some of the other cuvées, though a disarming pepper note on the finish conveys a sense of joie-de-vivre. Three barrels produced.
