Tasting notes
The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a much bolder and more expressive nose compared to the Charmes-Chambertin, offering copious blackberry, raspberry and crushed chalk aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious right to the end, delivering more depth and substance than the Charmes-Chambertin. Excellent.

This is cooler and spicier with a riper yet more elegant array of dark currant, cassis, rose petal and plum scents. The suave, round and seductively textured lager-scaled flavors possess a sleek muscularity and good minerality while delivering outstanding depth and length on the velvety and sappy finish. While clearly built to age over the mid to even longer-term, it's not so imposing as to be impossible to enjoy young.
