Note di degustazione
The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very well defined bouquet with pure red berry fruit, crushed stone, tea leaves and rose petal scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, a little tightness to contend with at first. Becomes razor-sharp towards the finish. Maybe I was expecting more substance, but the freshness and vitality carry this over the line. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

Just four barrels this vintage instead of 25. Mid crimson. Some sweet oak initially on both the nose and palate. Then in the mouth a gentle but persistent fruit sweetness. Spicy, deep and long. Already supple and harmonious. Lovely length and totally satisfying. (JH)
The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru was impacted severely by the frost. Usually, the domaine produces around 22 or 23 barrels whereas this year...just four. Two of those are new barrels including two-thirds whole bunch fruit. Although it was affected by the frost, it successfully retains a wonderful, expressive bouquet laden with mineral-rich red berry fruit notwithstanding a captivating floral component that becomes more vociferous with aeration (like the Chapelle-Chambertin). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and focused with dark berry fruit, sea salt (maybe brine?), brown spices and a detailed, quite long spicy aftertaste. It is a worthy follow-up to the 2015...just a shame there is relatively little compared to other vintages.
