Tasting Notes

96-98
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a profoundly complex bouquet that compels you to stop and contemplate the irresistible blend of red berry fruit, sous-bois, blood orange and crushed stone with fabulous delineation. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and perfectly judged acidity. Quite Rousseau-like in style, with a classic, multidimensional, somehow "complete" finish. Outstanding. Just four barrels produced.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
Like the Estournelles Saint-Jacques, Duroché's 2018 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru was a touch reduced on opening, but it opened up rapidly after a quick decant, unwinding to reveal a rich, carnal bouquet of dark berry fruit, smoked meats, black truffle, baking chocolate, plums and nori. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's deep and concentrated, with considerable reserves of fruit and structure. This will require the most patience of any wine in the portfolio, but it also offers the greatest potential rewards.

0.25 ha (0.62 acre). Planted 1920 and still 50% are the original plants. 13,000 plants per ha and has to be worked by horse. Tank sample but about to be bottled.Lifted and peppery with a light herbal freshness to the dark fruit. Tight and mouth-wateringly fresh. Not particularly intense but very long. Chalky finesse and surprisingly juicy. A light touch with great persistence. Burgundy incarnate. (JH)
