94+ JG. "The Domaine Bart Clos de Bèze in 2011 is equally stellar. I did not take note on what percentage of whole clusters were used this year, but I have to assume that it is similar to the Bonnes-Mares, and the wine was also raised in fifty percent new wood. The deep and stunning nose delivers a fine mélange of black cherries, black raspberries, grilled meat, espresso, a very complex base of minerality, a whisper of chocolate and a deft base of cedary new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and multi-layered, with a rock solid core, classic focus and balance, ripe tannins and stunning length and grip on the poised and utterly refined finish."
