2023 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, Domaine Duroché

2023 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, Domaine Duroché

Cellar Circle Exclusive

This is fast becoming one of Burgundy’s most sought-after wines. The vineyard was planted in 1920, and you can feel the power of the old vines in the glass. It is intense and opulent, with plenty of spice on the nose. The palate is impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity alongside an impressive mouthfeel. This is powerful, yet retains poise and elegance. It deserves plenty of time in the bottle.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is often one of Pierre Duroché's strongest wines and this is no exception. Seductive hints of red fruit, bergamot and lavender emerge with time in the glass. Yes, it does actually remind me of Rousseau. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and caressing with supple tannins and a persistent finish. There's wonderful transparency here. This is a great success, considering the vintage.

(94—96)/100

The Clos de Bèze boasts a dense black centre with purple rim, almost abrupt in its power. The detail does not speak on the nose but delivers an interesting salinity with some orange zest alongside the persistent red fruit. The finish is more elegant, as one expects from Clos de Bèze. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.
