Tasting notes
After the outstanding Latricieres-Chambertin ’13, the 2013 Chambertin appeared sultrier and introspective, difficult to read at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, perhaps more backbone than the Latricieres but at the same time, its seriousness is quite arresting after the flamboyance of its “sister” Grand Cru. It is a Chambertin that does not quite want to get to know you at this absurdly premature juncture and it will require 8-10 years in bottle.

Four casks. Firm and nervy but with massive undertow – quite unlike the other wines. Really dense and savoury and not nearly ready, but with lots of energy Just an idea in the future but with great massive chestnut fruit. Very precise and lively . Another register of quality – amazingly! (JR)
