Tasting notes
Opening in the glass with notes of dark berry fruit, plums, spices, baking chocolate and loamy soil, the 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, lively and vibrant, with rather chalky tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This is a fine effort, but it lacks some of the charm that distinguished the 2018 rendition.

This is a blend of Chambertin itself (two-thirds) and one third Clos de Bèze. Glowing imperial crimson purple. The nose has it all, clearly all the nobility it should have. The crunchy mineral tension found throughout the Fourrier wines pays dividends here. There is exceptional intensity but it is beautifully judged. Some liquorice notes but above all an amazing intensity of fruit which lingers long. 96-98
