Tasting notes
Cask sample. Lightish ruby. Fragrant, peppery dark-red fruit. Very light on the mid palate. Like the Bonnes Mares, stemmy and a bit lean. Extremely fresh but could do with a little more substance in the middle. (JH)

The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru, from a plot at the top of the slope touching Latricières, will be Bouchard's last. This is always one of the most ethereal renditions of this site, and this vintage is no exception. Wafting from the glass are scents of red berries, sweet spices, blood orange, potpourri and baking chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and melting palate that's pure, sensual and seamless, with bright acids and a mouthwateringly saline finish.
