Detailed Description

Chambertin’s Aromas of red fruits on the nose, accompanied by notes of liquorice. On the palate the wine is elegant, velvety and persistent. The colour is ruby red. A complex floral nose of rose and clove greets you. Deeply plush with red-fruit character of raspberries and currants on the palate the tannins are well structured. With an earthy wildness here, this will benefit from some decanting. Among the most prestigious Burgundy wines, the Chambertin Grand Cru here in its finest expression, in a still recent vintage but with certain potential. Expressions of small red fruit and soft tannins. 100% Pinot Noir. Brown chalky soils.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: Initially there was a touch of reduction so be sure to decant this. With a few minutes of air pretty aromas of complex and cool red Pinot fruit, earth and a hint of humus give way to equally earthy medium weight flavors that possess good volume and a fine muscularity, all wrapped in a very firm but not aggressive finish.
