Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune, the 2011 Chambertin has a pure bouquet with wild strawberry, cranberry, animal fur and strong sous-bois aromas that are nicely defined, but lend it a feral quality that is intriguing. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp filigree tannins. This is tensile and focused with a sense of energy and poise that revs up on the gorgeous finish and leaves you crying for more. This is a great success for the domaine and is utterly sublime.

This possesses the most complex nose in the entire range with its cool, earthy and reticent nose of red and black currant, plum, violet and pungent earth hints. There is both excellent richness and volume to the tautly muscular, concentrated and opulent big-bodied flavors that culminate in a lush and remarkably persistent finish. This is borderline seductive and that's not an adjective that I typically use to describe young Chambertin and about the only nit is a hint of backend warmth.
Denser than Latricières but less well balanced. A bit chewier on the finish. Impressive but no more fun. (JR)
