This is ripe and lush, saturating the palate with black cherry, blackberry, violet, sweet spice and salty mineral flavors. There’s vibrant acidity, well-rounded tannins, terrific balance and a long aftertaste. Overall, this is elegant.


More reserved than the outgoing Chapelle-Chambertin, the 2024 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) unwinds in the glass with notes of raspberries, incense and petals. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a fleshy core, powdery tannins and an expansive finish, it’s a fine effort.


The 2024 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru comprises one 450-litre cask this year. It is backward, almost obdurate on the nose, tightly packed with red fruit, crushed stone and light cedar aromas, hints of black tea emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity, bearing similitude to the Clos Saint-Jacques. Quite linear towards the finish, this is nicely focused and though it does not possess the weight and density of a top vintage this is a classy, sophisticated Clos-de-Bèze.


Perfumed aromas of red cherries, rose petals, blood oranges, fresh flowers, blueberry bush and spices. The palate is silken and polished with fine-grained tannins that have no hard edges. The balance of power, finesse and precision is incredible. The ultimate drinking pleasure. Can be enjoyed now or for decades to come.
