Faiveley are the largest landowner in this fêted corner of Chambertin, with three parcels to their name. It is one of the consistently most complex wines in their range, and offers staggering ageing potential. In 2023, aromas of rose petal and sapid red berries combine leading to gorgeously, silky tannins, and a long, fine, spicy finish on the palate.
The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru doesn't quite gel on the nose like the Mazis-Chambertin at first. It gradually combines hints of finely delineated brambly red fruit, tea leaves, briar and brown spice. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, considering this is a Grand Cru. This is a "transparent" Pinot with light grip but a long peppery tail on the finish. Give this four or five years in bottle.
A bright mid crimson purple. The nose has the class and much of the energy that one would hope for. The 2023 Chambertin Clos de Bèze is elegant with little alpine strawberries, but I would have liked just a point more concentration. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.
