Tasting Notes
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru comes from parcels in close proximity to Latrici�res. It has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, briary, crushed stone and a touch of menthol, the latter just a little incongruous. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent opening, a fleshy and quite generous Chambertin, caressing and velvety with a deep, almost "plump" finish. This should be approachable vis-a-vis its peers, though there is satisfying substance here.

Rich imperial purple, a little bit of oak, perhaps something lightly oxidative in this sample. High acidity, ripe supple tannins, a very significant intensity of a pure red concentrated fruit. Pretty much all whole bunch. There is a very significant wealth of fruit towards the back, full of energy, I think this will come through, and the wine will be fresher than the first nose suggested.�
