(93-96 points) Fine bright colour, with a very charming bouquet of medium depth, light reduction, dense rich strawberry notes, a little dry behind but very good ripe fruit nonetheless. Just not quite in place at the...

The 2019 Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a Pinot Noir from the Chambertin Clos de Beze sub-appellation in the Gevrey Chambertin region of Burgundy, France. This wine comes from a nearly one-hectare parcel in Clos de Beze, with two-thirds of the vines planted in 1912, providing a historical touch and deep-rooted complexity.

Decanter awarded this wine a score of 96, noting its profound complexity and depth. The reviewer highlighted the use of 30% whole clusters and a gentle extraction process, which brought out rich aromas of black cherries and spicy plum. On the palate, the wine is described as having impressive density and structure without being astringent or over-concentrated. Decanter concluded their review by calling the wine "truly masterful."

Vinous also rated the 2019 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru with a 96, emphasizing its immense fruit concentration. Neal Martin from Vinous described the nose as displaying ample dark plum, wild strawberry, earthenware, and sous-bois aromas, noting its complexity and engaging nature. The palate is medium-bodied with a hint of black pepper on the entry, and the wine is described as intense and long-term, suggesting it will benefit from aging. Martin called it "an intense, all-guns-a-blazing Clos-de-Bèze" that refines with time.

Jasper Morris gave the wine a score ranging from 93 to 96 points, appreciating its fine bright color and charming bouquet. Morris noted dense rich strawberry notes and a touch of dryness but acknowledged the ripe fruit quality. He remarked that while the wine is not entirely in place at the moment, it has the potential for significant improvement over time.

In summary, the 2019 Bruno Clair Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a highly acclaimed Pinot Noir with a notable complexity and depth, receiving excellent reviews across the board. Its rich aromas, dense palate, and potential for aging make it a wine worth considering for both immediate enjoyment and long-term investment.
