Vinous (86-88)
The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge, matured in two- or three-year-old oak barrels, has an attractive bouquet of generous mulberry and black currant aromas and a touch of wild hedgerow. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit (cranberry and raspberry) on the entry and a slightly powdery texture on the surprisingly structured finish. This is a very well-crafted Bourgogne Rouge.Inc. GSTSG$425.62 -
Vinous (86-88)
The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge has a precise bouquet with commendable precision for a regional red, attractive rose petal scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with good weight on the finish. For, me this is a level up from Passetoutgrain.Inc. GSTSG$506.28 -
Vinous (85-87)
The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge is light and airy on the nose, brambly red fruit with light sous-bois scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, brittle in texture, attenuating towards the finish with a sapid aftertaste.Inc. GSTSG$1,121.57 -

(6x75cl) 2008Vinous (93)
Deep red-ruby, the darkest of these 2008s. Complex aromas of black fruits, licorice, caraway seed, game and smoke. Big, sweet and rich; plush and deep without coming across as heavy. Lovely inner-mouth aromatic perfume to the flavors of black fruits and spices. A broad, silky, savory wine that really spreads out to saturate the palate on the back end. Finishes long and aromatic.Inc. GSTSG$7,552.02 -
(6x75cl) 2009Wine Advocate (95)
The 2009 Chambertin-Clos de Beze is a dazzling, sensual Burgundy. An exciting melange of dark fruit, licorice, earthiness and incense emerges from the glass. The wine builds with notable powerful intensity towards the rich, sweeping, eternal finish. This enveloping, totally convincing Beze needs time, and lots of it. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.Inc. GSTSG$6,483.82 -
Vinous (92-95)
(aged in 100% new Francois Freres barrels): Deep red-ruby color. Cool, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, redcurrant, orange zest, licorice, pepper and cardamom. Large-scaled but primary and light on its feet; silky in texture but a bit hardened today by the CO2. Shows intriguing citrus peel notes: is it the excess gas or the cool site? Finishes firmly tannic, with a sexy spice character. Tricky to taste today: I would not be surprised if the finished wine rated a score at the top end of my projected range.Inc. GSTSG$9,187.02 -
Vinous (93)
Rich and explosive to the core, Groffier's 2011 Chambertin Clos de Bèze hits the palate with huge dark blue/purplish fruit, violets, menthol and cloves. Even with all of the intensity, power and voluptuousness, my preference is to drink the Groffier Burgundies sooner rather than later. The inclusion of 50% whole clusters adds complexity and dimension. This is an especially bold, fruit-driven Bèze, but it all works.Inc. GSTSG$988.53 -

(6x75cl) 2012Vinous (95+)
(100% vendange entier, 100% new oak): Dark, bright red. Knockout nose combines sappy red and darker berries, mocha and underbrush, complemented by sexy sweet oak and lifted by a rose petal perfume. Pure crunchy cranberry and pomegranate fruit flavors convey an almost painful urgency, thanks to the energy provided by the whole-cluster fermentation. Chewy, deep and very backward wine, finishing with a distinctly savory character and a peppery quality from the stems. Exciting potential here. Both this wine and the Bonnes-Mares display a distinctly redder--as opposed to black--fruit character from bottle than they did from tank in November of 2013.Inc. GSTSG$6,930.72 -
Vinous (93-96)
(70% vendange entier; 100% new oak; these 80-year-old vines produced 37 hectoliters per hectare in 2013): Bright, dark red. Lovely pepper-and-spice lift to the aromas of red cherry, rose petal and licorice. Sappy and dense, with a captivating light touch and a compelling sweet/savory balance to the red fruit and licorice flavors. The very long finish features noble tannins and a building spiciness. A bit hard to taste today owing to a high level of carbon dioxide but looks to be brilliant.Inc. GSTSG$2,732.34 -
Vinous (94)
The 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is slightly deeper in colour than the Bonnes-Mares. It has a splendid bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, sous-bois and black truffle that blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure, good backbone here with a slightly savory, dried blood-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. There is just a hint of salted liquorish that pops up on the aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted at the Domaine.Inc. GSTSG$11,212.74 -
(2x75cl) 2019Vinous (96-98)
The 2019 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is all about one-hundreds: age of vine, percentage of new oak and whole bunches. It has an incredibly intense and powerful bouquet with layers of blackberry, sage, sous-bois and charcoal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and sufficient fruit to easily soak up the new wood. Fresh and quite citrus-like, it is beautifully proportioned on the finish with a lingering hint of pepperiness on the aftertaste. This is an outstanding Clos-de-Bèze, though it will require several years in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$3,409.32 -
(12x75cl) 2020Vinous (94-96)
Raised entirely in new oak with all its stems, the 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a tough job following the crystalline Les Amoureuses. Almost opaque at first, this whole bunch imparts a strong pepperiness, with a light charcoal scent in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and fresh with a slightly chalky textured, sorbet-fresh finish. Afford this 5-8 years in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$14,575.39 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (97-99)
(5-Star Wine) 100% of both new wood and whole bunch vinification. The Clos de Bèze sits in its own tank apart from the rest of the wines. Must be a bit of a snob I suppose. A solid central core of purple, an imperial robe. Just a soupçon of oak on the nose but obviously the fruit is far more evident. There is indeed an immense weight of dark fruit on the nose, with the whole bunch pepper and spice woven throughout. Excellent weight and density. Rich red roses, along with a sensual dark raspberry, sensuality and structure beautifully interwoven. Drink from 2032-2045+.Inc. GSTSG$7,879.02 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
100% new wood. Solid bright purple, and on the chunky side. Massive, almost inky, a very dark fruit, the 2023 Clos de Bèze does not quite blossom on the palate as it has in some recent years. Despite the ripeness of the fruit, this feels a little introverted today, or perhaps a bit subdued behind its oak. Drink from 2033-2042. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. GSTSG$7,399.42 -
Vinous (93)
Bright dark red. Captivating nose offers redcurrant, raspberry, iron, tobacco, minerals and coffee. Lush, silky and sweet; youthfully reticent in the mouth but already offers an ineffably complex perfume. Boasts impressively fine, late-arriving tannins for the vintage. The wine's firm acid/tannin spine gives the finish excellent bite. A beauty.Inc. GSTSG$16,324.84 -
(12x75cl) 2007Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-94)
Good dark red with ruby highlights. Sexy, complex aromas of raspberry, minerals and faded rose, lifted by an exhilarating whiff of grapefruit. Lush, concentrated and sweet, but with noteworthy vinosity and sappiness to the tangy red berry flavors. The slow-mounting finish is positively electric, saturating the mouth with perfume. A great showing, and more vibrant than some examples from this vineyard in 2007.Inc. GSTSG$17,683.03 -
Wine Advocate (93)
The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is a bit unusual for this site. The fruit shows more depth, concentration and overt richness than most wines from this vineyard. The signature perfume emerges with time, but this remains a wine essentially built on an intense core of fruit. Groffier used 10% stems here. The finish shows a little heat, which is the only thing that keeps the score from going higher. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.Inc. GSTSG$14,204.79 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)
Good medium red. Highly perfumed but youthfully reticent nose suggests flowers, licorice, pepper, crushed rock and brown spices. Sweet, seamless and utterly primary, with terrific intensity to the dark berry and spice flavors. But this extremely backward wine will need a decade of aging. Finishes with dusty tannins and vibrant, lingering notes of ginger and lavender.Inc. GSTSG$21,327.94 -
Wine Advocate (93)
Robert Groffier’s 2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses was tasted blind in a line-up of 2011 Amoureuses in Holland. It has a deep ruby color, but the nose is far more backward than the first two wines, a little more herbaceous and tertiary (perhaps with some more stem addition?) but still well-defined. But it is certainly less flamboyant than Drouhin and Lucien le Moine’s Amoureuses ’11, though returning on my second run-through, the wine unfurls supremely well and gains intensity. The palate is very intense and very fresh, very citric with good tension, although it does not quite have the complexity that the aromatics suggest. Reticent and masculine, this needs 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted June 2014.Inc. GSTSG$1,032.13 -
Wine Advocate (93)
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses has a composed bouquet with good fruit intensity, blueberry and wild strawberry, neatly integrated oak, a real presence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tightly wound at the moment but with precision and a brisk acidic line that keeps everything very focused. Give this 4-5 years in the cellar at least. Tasted September 2016.Inc. GSTSG$5,241.22 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96)
Dense dark purple, rich fruit, there is a touch of something tough on the nose. This is very powerful wine, with a heady dense dark red fruit, then some floral notes. The wood returns behind. Surprisingly inaccessible in some ways but potentially very fine. The backwardness of the bouquet disappears with time in the glass.Inc. GSTSG$10,209.94 -

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is showing quite a lot of reduction on the nose, which is quite savory at first, with hints of dried blood infusing the black and blue fruit. The focused, well-balanced palate is full of energy, delivering very fine, supple tannin and a perfectly pitched line of acidity. It doesn’t quite deliver the complexity one would expect, although the finish is undoubtedly refined and persistent. Good potential, but it needs five years in bottle.
