Tasting Notes

Lost two-thirds of their fruit. 100% new oak. Dense and rich and yet so much more expressive than, say, Dugat-Py’s. Very rich and powerful and shaded. Dense, ripe sumptuous fruit – very ripe red fruits rather than black fruits. Crunchy and lively – not at all heavy or tannic although there is massively fine structure underneath. Deceptively clean and fresh and energetic.
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2048

The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru has a beguiling bouquet with copious red berry fruit, crushed minerals, delicate wilted rose petal and light tobacco scents. It has a crystalline beauty. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, wonderful focus and immense poise. This is a class act with bewildering tension and incredible poise towards the finish. God made wine so it could taste like this. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2055
