REBOURSEAU Henri Chambertin Clos de Beze 2023

The 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, bergamot and rose petal aromas. It's flattering but just needs a little more complexity considering the vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, dark berry fruit laced with tea leaves and a hint of marmalade toward the finish. It's not bad, although it is overshadowed by the Mazy-Chambertin.

The 2023 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru saw rigorous hand-sorting to remove any dehydrated or desiccated berries, and the resulting wine shows excellent promise, bursting with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with exotic spices, incense and petals. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's plush and textural, with velvety tannins and an expansive finish.
