Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, cedar, grilled meats and forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and melting, with juicy acids, delicate structure and a pretty core of fruit. It can't match Fourrier's domaine wines, but it's a charming middleweight rendition of this great appellation.

The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has a charming, quite regal bouquet with layers of crushed strawberry, raspberry and crushed iris aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate is very refined, beautifully focused with a silver bead of acidity. There is a sorbet-like freshness from start to finish, a gentle crescendo of flavours towards the blackberry, raspberry and orange zest finish that lingers persistently in the mouth. Superb.
