Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of rose petals, raspberries, licorice, peonies, smoked meats and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a muscular chassis of tannin, lively acids and a penetrating but youthfully chewy finish. Deep and concentrated, this is a serious, age-worthy wine from Duband.

Vines aged 50 years. 90% whole bunch, 40% new oak. Barrel sample. More open and generous than the Latricières – always like this says David Duband. Sweeter fruited too with lovely depth of scented fruit. More sweet spice as it opens up. Something a little like cinnamon. Plenty of tannins, lots of tannic tension, dry but not drying. All in embryo. All to play for. (JH)
