2009 Chapelle Chambertin

Tasting notes
A muscular, full-bodied red, with pure cherry, raspberry and currant fruit. Tightens up on the finish, where subtle oak spice lingers. Balanced, on a sinewy frame. 150 cases imported.

A pretty and cool but distinctly ripe mix of upper and lower register aromas includes notes of red currant, wild red berries, earth and stone hints. The attractively energetic and focused medium weight plus flavors possess very fine mid-palate concentration with a silky yet firm mouth feel. There is excellent depth and length to the palate staining finish that is an exercise in harmony and balance though there is some youthful asperity present. Lovely and this should age exceptionally well. Drink 2024+
The 2009 Chapelle-Chambertin possesses wonderful inner perfume and detail in its layered fruit. This shows lovely precision and depth to match the understated yet impeccably classy personality. The Chapelle is made from estate owned vineyards. This old-vine parcel is planted with bunches that give tiny berries.
Fragrant, lively, floral, perfumed, delicious. Lots to enjoy now – perhaps whilst the 05s are still maturing?
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
