2022 BOUCHARD PERE ET FILS CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BEZE GRAND CRU

(93-95 Points) It comes from purchased grapes, though Bouchard directs the harvest. It feels slightly closed on the nose despite coaxing, revealing brambly red fruit, blueberry and a light marine influence with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. This is well-balanced with ample freshness. It is structured but retains sufficient elegance and refinement on the finish.

Excellent – but be patient. This fans out gloriously and is recommended.
