Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru, Domaine Drouhin-Laroze, 2020

"All of the family's fruit is toward the bottom of Clos de B ze, around the "Ici Commence le Chambertin" sign and the stone hut, or la cabotte. Sultry and bold, this is packed with floral and branch notes, likely thanks in part to the 30% whole bunches. The palate follows on with black currants and a supremely firm wall of finely-grained tannins. There's crushed slate and grilled meat notes along with spice in spades on the long and notably refreshing finish. Don't rush to open this one. 2026-48"

"The 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a very elegant bouquet with Earl Grey tinged red fruit. Wonderful composure here and very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, vibrant and fresh with a dash of black pepper towards the finish. This is superb."
