Tasting notes
The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, which incidentally neighbours Bertrand Dugat's plot, has a fragrant and very pure bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry, potpourri and pressed roses. Tight at first but it gains generosity. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiselled tannins, very silky in texture, cohesive and tender yet paradoxically with backbone that will ensure a long future. Magnificent.

The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is similarly brilliant, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice, sweet spices and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's fleshy and textural, with terrific depth at the core, powdery structuring tannins and a long, resonant finish. The cool-vintage profile works brilliantly with this earlier-ripening site.
