Score 91/100 · Drink 2021-2035, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021

The 2016 Premier Cru Les Beaux Regards opens in the glass with notes of pear, citrus oil, blanched almonds, fresh bread and vanilla pod. Medium-bodied, tangy and chiseled, with chalky structure, Raphaël Bérêche observes that it's richer than Le Cran, which is true enough, though it's certainly also more austere and acid-driven than its 2015 counterpart. It was disgorged in February 2020 with three grams per liter dosage.

The 2016 Les Beaux Regards (Chardonnay) is a punchy, bold wine. Lemon confit, dried herbs, marzipan, spice, chamomile and a touch of reduction give the Beaux Regards a good deal of nuance. Even so, the 2016 comes across as a bit disjointed and lacking the finesse of the very best editions. Aeration helps, especially with the reductive notes (which I don't find objectionable), so I would either open the 2016 in advance or give it time in bottle. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2020.
