Cask sample. Damp earth, roasted coffee bean, five spice and white pepper. Bags of concentration here, fine tannins, rosemary, thyme and dark chocolate with a brooding richness. Weighty and pure at the same time – impressive. (AC)
Cask sample. Deep colour. Intense, regal character. Clearly grand cru quality. Lovely sweetness of fruit on the palate but this is ripeness of fruit, allied with purity and freshening acidity which keeps everything in perfect balance. (AWH)
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautiful nose with very delineated blackberry and raspberry fruit, rose petal and light cedar scents, focused and full of class. The palate is well-defined, quite strict on the entry, good tension with a touch of black pepper towards the persistent finish. Very fine, even if not within the top ranking Chambertins in this vintage.
About the producer
Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
