Tasting notes
The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a nuanced bouquet with red berries, briar and bay leaf, a pinch of brown spice emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit on the entry, brittle tannins and touches of Earl Grey infusing the red berry fruit. A little spicier on the finish than its peers, this is a fine Grand Cru that perhaps just lacks a bit of length and density. Maybe it will gain that with age? Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is matured in 75% new oak. It has a clean, quite pure bouquet a little impeded by the oak at the moment, though it is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, lightly spiced, moderate depth with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Fine, but earlier drinking than some others from the appellation.
