Note di degustazione
Last of the 2018s and from a 13.5-hectare site of rocky, limestone soils, the 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru comes from 65-year-old vines and was partially destemmed and brought up, I believe, in mostly new French oak. A magical, heavenly Red Burgundy, it tops out this reviewer's scale. Possessing a vivid, almost opaque ruby color, it displays a more masculine, medium to full-bodied, layered style that carries classic notes of ripe dark berry fruits, scorched earth, gunpowder, black tea, and forest floor. Concentrated, powerful, and structured on the palate, it has a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a remarkable sense of purity and precision. It's mostly educational at this point and deserves 5-7 years of bottle age, but this is insanely good. I suspect it will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.

The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is a dense, powerful wine that is going to need the better part of a decade to soften. Tannic and brooding, the 2018 is in no mood to show all its cards today. There is good depth and tons of intensity, but the tannins are overpowering at this stage.
