The 2019 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is destined to be much less controversial than its 2018 predecessor, as Bouchard was able to determine the date of harvest this year. 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 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru comes from the same source of purchased fruit as the Chapelle-Chambertin. This was slightly reduced on the nose but there appears to be very fine intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with silky-smooth tannins, and a little saline in the mouth, leading into a harmonious finish. I would just like to see more structure and maybe more Pinoté post-racking.
