Domaine Henri Rebourseau’s Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2019 is a notable turning point for the estate: it is the first vintage bottled separately from a small Clos de Bèze parcel that had “long [been] blended with the Chambertin,” as Decanter reports. The holding is tiny—0.33 hectares of Pinot Noir in Gevrey-Chambertin—and the estate has positioned 2019 as the inaugural standalone expression of this grand cru site.

Across the professional reviews, the wine is consistently described in darker-fruited, detailed terms, with an emphasis on balance and texture. Wine Spectator (95 points—an excellent review) calls it “an expressive red hallmarked by dark fruit flavors of black cherry, black currant and plum,” adding “licorice, spice, iron and tobacco notes” and praising how it “combines power and finesse.” They also provide a practical window: “Best from 2025 through 2045,” and note scarcity in the market with “32 cases imported.”

Vinous’s Neal Martin (95 points—another excellent review) focuses on precision and structure, highlighting “a precise bouquet with slightly darker fruit” and a palate that is “medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins, fine acidity.” He describes it as “fleshy and sensual, with great symmetry,” finishing with “an excellent saline finish that lingers,” concluding, “This has huge potential.”

Decanter (92 points) finds it “forward and approachable” in this debut, with “lilting red and black fruit” and “pleasant floral notes,” while gently suggesting it may not fully deliver “the depth and complexity that one looks for in this appellation.”

Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy, 92–95 points) similarly notes “a certain elegance… smoother sensuality, and length,” though he feels it “falls a little bit short of full nobility.” Overall, the consensus points to a polished, clearly high-quality first separate bottling, led by balance, length, and dark-fruit clarity.
