Tasting Notes
The 2019 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru by Bouchard Père & Fils is a testament to the harmonious interplay between exceptional terroir and masterful winemaking. This wine emanates from the revered slopes of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, a vineyard celebrated for its ability to produce Pinot Noir of remarkable depth and elegance.
In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby hue, hinting at its concentration. The nose is expressive, offering a bouquet of ripe cherries, woodsmoke, dried flowers, licorice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and bright, with a tightly wound structure that speaks to its aging potential. The flavors mirror the aromatics, with added notes of plum, dark berries, and exotic spices, culminating in a long, precise finish.
This 2019 vintage showcases the finesse and power characteristic of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, promising to evolve gracefully over the next two decades.

Scores
97 / 100""Purchased grapes from the equivalent of one hectare. The rows come down from the forest, so can be picked a bit later. Huge gorgeous purple colour, with a massive intensity of fruit to go with. Black fruit notes, good tannins here, optimum ripeness, the stems add a little tingle, very long, a bit more robust than chez Rousseau, but really very fine.""

""Here too there is just enough wood present to remark upon mingling with the equally spicy nose that features notes of plum, various dark berries, exotic tea and hints of game. The sleek, cool and restrained larger-scaled flavors are finer still while flashing no lack of power and drive that really builds toward the intensely saline-suffused finish.""

""Wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, woodsmoke, dried flowers, licorice and loamy soil, it's full-bodied, bright and tightly wound, with real concentration and a long, precise finish.""

""The wine is very precise, with a beautiful expression of ripe black cherry fruit, smoke, earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is silky yet intense, with enough structure and extract to age gracefully for decades.""

"Deeper-pitched and more carnal than the Chambertin, Rousseau's 2019 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru mingles aromas of cherries, cassis and raspberries with hints of Asian spices, incense, smoked tea, rich soil tones and grilled duck. Full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, it's bright and lively, with a fleshy core of concentrated fruit, succulent acids and powdery structuring tannins. Long and perfumed, this is a sensual Clos de Bèze in the making."
