Tasting Notes

The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru has a luscious and generous bouquet with plenty of raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents, seamlessly integrated oak and entrancing mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, pliant and velvety smooth, fanning out with supreme confidence towards the pixelated finish. Brilliant. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Score: 95

Once again there is a hint of the sauvage to the fresh and intensely earthy wild dark berry aromas that are trimmed in moderate wood influence. There is fine richness and excellent power to the focused, intense and energetic flavors that culminate in an impressively long finish that is shaped by distinctly firm but fine tannins. This will also need plenty of time to arrive at its apogee.

Score: 92-94
