" Reduction rendered the nose all but impossible to read save for a few pretty spice notes that could not be denied. Otherwise the supple round and marvelously well-detailed broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky mid-palate brimming with dry extract on the almost painfully intense and massively long finish that seems to have no end. Along with the Chambertin I could taste this the next day. This could be one of the all time great vintages for this legendary wine and I include both the 1962 and the 2005 in that statement."

"Good deep red. Darker and more restrained on the nose than the Clos Saint-Jacques offering sour cherry menthol licorice and a peppery nuance. Rich thick and powerful but youthfully brooding with dark fruit licorice and mineral flavors showing superb definition. Wonderfully deep sappy soil-inflected wine with a firm tannic spine and an expanding energetic finish. Today I find this harder to taste than the Chambertin which is frequently the wine that's cooler and more aristocratic in the early going."
Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points
"The 2009 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is a decidedly virile imposing wine built on a core of seriously ripe fruit that is backed up by plenty of tannic heft. Despite its intense personality the Bèze also shows plenty of sensuality freshness and vibrancy all qualities that make this a wonderfully complete and intriguing wine. "
