Chapelle Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2019
Well padded, powerful but alluring and with some measure and proportion to it, the fruit is all dark berries. The heady ripe creme de mure characteristics are enlivened and offset by an important savoury element - pepper, cedar and earth notes - deep, solid but with the most silken of textures. Fermented with 40% whole bunches and aged in 80% new oak.
critic reviews
The 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and Seville orange marmalade, quite dense at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, touches of dark chocolate filtering through the red berry fruit, and Christmas cake and light licorice notes on the finish. At the moment the oak is a little strong, but it should become more integrated with bottle age.
