2019 Chapelle Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

The 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is more expressive, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, orange rind, potpourri and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with its elegantly chalky structuring tannins largely concealed in an enveloping core of fruit, it's long and perfumed.

The 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has an attractive nose with blackberry, hints of melted tar and crushed violet. Wonderful focus here, more than the Charmes-Chambertin at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, spicy and full of vim and vigour. There is a lot of coiled-up energy on the finish, the tension palpable long after the wine has departed. This oozes class.
