(96 - 98 points) The 2016 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru was made from two cuvées, one destemmed and the other not, so that there is around 30% whole bunch. It has a very well-defined bouquet with outstanding tension and focus. The palate is pure and silky smooth, more red fruit than black, very harmonious with very well-integrated new oak (80%). This is the best that the domaine has ever made. Period. Chapeau Nicolas and Caroline.- NM

Pitch-perfect ripeness on the nose with an air of crushed violets and sappy cherries. Whole cluster used here and very low yields. Very youthful and vibrant. An elegant, fresh cherry and cherry pastry-flavored palate with linear shape. Sleek, powerful style here. Finishes very fresh and vibrant. Give this some time. It has 20+ years and it will age superbly. Try from 2022.
