Chapelle Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes, Grand Cru, 2021
Smooth rich seduction is the order of the day here as stylish, dark berry fruits flood the palate. Flowing, seamless, with a glowing core of velvety rich fruit. There’s some muscle here but it’s well covered by luxuriant and glowing fruit. From a fine parcel of 90-year-old vines that produces tiny "millerande" berries year in year out.
critic reviews
The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is aged in barrel until malo and then 30% in Wineglobe. The fruit is slightly darker than the Griottes and Charmes, again, well-defined with palpable mineralité. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and crisp, very tensile with a surfeit of energy enlivening the finish. Not enormously long, but this will have much to offer.
