Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2023

97 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is a standout Clos de Bèze with a sumptuous nose, dense layers of ripe fruit and an exorbitantly long finish. Strawberry preserves, cherry cobbler, fresh oak spice and a touch of mocha offer a profusion of flavor on the palate. Riveting in complexity and grandiose in class. Part of the domaine since the 1930s, the oldest vines here are now from 1949. (Jan 2025)"

94-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of sweet cherries and blackberries mingled with notions of clove, incense, rose petals and blood orange in an incipiently complex bouquet introduce the 2023 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample and perfumed wine that's pure, rich and sensual, concluding with an expansive finish. (1/30/25)"

93-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "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."

92-95 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.29 ha parcel). This is also firmly reduced and revealing nothing but a tinge of spiciness. Once again the caressing and seductive mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is striking thanks to the fine-grained tannins that shape the wonderfully complex and impeccably well-balanced finale. I particularly like the inner mouth perfume that only adds to the appeal of this very classy effort. Drink: 2035+. (Jan 2025)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "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. Drink: 2028-2048. (Jan 2024)"
