Tasting notes
Deep, dark ruby in the glass, this Chambertin is another serious wine. It’s beautifully expressive, with a nose of red and black berry fruit. Full-bodied, it’s balanced with fine tannins and succulent acidity that offsets the dense, complex mid-palate. It builds to a long, vibrant, spicy and concentrated finish. This is really impressive and deserves a few years’ cellaring to reach its full potential. Highly recommended.

Cask sample. Mid cherry. Mature red fruit; cherry, strawberry coulis and redcurrant compote. Clean and very well delineated, the body of this is lithe and tonic. Great vigour and energy, without the absolute volume of a hotter vintage. Powerful and long. (MH)
