Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2022

(94-96 points) The grand terroirs can shrug off the difficult vintages, says Jérôme. For him Clos de Bèze is the same wine every year. Fine crimson purple, with more depth than the other Grands Crus. Plenty of red fruit...

Wine Spectator, August 2023

Luscious and expressive, this red exudes cherry, spiced plum, boysenberry, licorice, sandalwood and vanilla aromas and flavors, with a firm base of acidity and tannins lending support. Though balanced, this needs time for...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2023

(WA 93-95 points) The 2021 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest, Asian spices, rose petals and sweet forest floor. Full-bodied, ample and...

Vinous, January 2023

(VN 92-94 points) The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru bides its time opening up, revealing raspberry and cranberry fruit, autumn leaves, touches of orange pith. Cohesive and focused, it gains vigour in the glass...

Decanter, June 2022

The Faiveley holdings in the Clos de Bèze are lovely. The 'classique' and the Bèze super-cuvée Les Ouvrées Rodin are usually among my favorite wines from this house. 2021 is no exception. It combines the solid, somewhat...

The 2021 Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a notable Pinot Noir from the esteemed Gevrey Chambertin appellation in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits. Crafted by Domaine Faiveley, this red wine has garnered significant praise from several respected wine reviewers.

According to Neal Martin from Vinous, who rated the wine between 92 and 94 points, the 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru opens slowly, revealing "raspberry and cranberry fruit, autumn leaves, touches of orange pith." He highlights its cohesive and focused nature, which gains vigor in the glass. Martin describes the palate as medium-bodied with "grainy tannins, brown spices, and white pepper" that are prominent in the finish.

Decanter’s review, scored at 93 points, emphasizes the distinctiveness of Faiveley's holdings in the Clos de Bèze. The reviewer notes that the wine combines "the solid, somewhat chunky density of the Latricières and the sensual charm and exuberance of the Charmes." The grapes for this vintage come from three of the four Faiveley domaine parcels, located in the heart of the Clos de Bèze.

William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the wine 95 points, describing it as "beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest, Asian spices, rose petals, and sweet forest floor." Kelley praises the wine's full-bodied, ample, and fleshy character, noting that it unites the sensual aromatics and textures of Faiveley's Latricières with the musculature of their Mazis.

Jasper Morris, scoring the wine between 94 and 96 points, observes that "the grand terroirs can shrug off the difficult vintages." He describes the wine as having "plenty of red fruit but in a slightly stricter format," with high-class red fruit on the palate and a harmonious balance of tannins and acidity.

Wine Spectator also rated the wine highly, giving it 96 points. The review notes that the wine is "luscious and expressive," with aromas and flavors of "cherry, spiced plum, boysenberry, licorice, sandalwood, and vanilla." The firm base of acidity and tannins provides support, though the review suggests the wine will benefit from aging and is best enjoyed from 2026 through 2045.

Overall, the 2021 Faiveley Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a well-crafted Pinot Noir that showcases the complexity and depth characteristic of its prestigious terroir.
