A top note of herbal tea is present on the cooler and airier if not necessarily spicier or more elegant aromas of essence of wild red berries. The mouthfeel of the almost painfully intense medium weight plus flavors is also quite sleek thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins that flash even more minerality on the more austere finale that displays excellent depth and persistence. As befits a classic Chambertin, this is a wine to buy and forget you own it for at least a decade
The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru offers a touch more complexity and nuance than the Clos-de-Bèze with red berry fruit, orange rind, crushed stone and wilted rose petals. It's a little more delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, again, quite creamy in texture with a bit of new oak on the finish (though there is a prudent use of new wood - one new barrel out of three). Quite seductive, this should age well in bottle, though afford it four to five years at least.
Not one of the deeper colours but with a sturdy fruit on the bouquet. Very well balanced on the palate, with a little firmness at the back. The old vines provide the weight that is needed. This will need time, but is a good example of optimising the vintage. Drink from 2027-2035.
