Note di degustazione
Aromas of cassis, plums, peonies, dark chocolate, exotic spices and loamy soil preface Bouchard's 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's layered and perfumed, concluding with a long, resonant finish.

Offering up aromas of ripe cherries, smoked meats, spices and licorice, the 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a ripe, generous core of fruit framed by melting tannins, concluding with an expansive and floral finish. This derives from the same source as the Clos de Bèze—and informed readers will easily be able to make an educated guess as to who that is—but the Chapelle has turned out better this year.
The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from purchased fruit. This is one cuvée that showed some over-maturity on the nose (it was picked September 16), and the almost 15% alcohol is tangible. The sweet, confit-like palate is fleshy and seductive, yet it does not communicate the essence of this Grand Cru as well as others that I have encountered.
