Tasting notes
The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with pure brambly red berry fruit, loam and light rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy opening, perhaps the oak just a little vocal at present. Good weight, quite seductive, though maybe just missing some mineralité on the finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) lives up to its fine showing in barrel, unwinding in the glass with notes of cherries, red berries and licorice mingled with hints of violets and warm spices. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a deep core of fruit, velvety tannins and succulent acids, it's elegant and complete, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. This has turned out beautifully.
The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very attractive, pure, well-defined bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberry, sous-bois and light orange pith aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The medium-bodied palate displays supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. A little peppery in style, with a touch of brown spice toward the finish. This is a well-crafted Chapelle-Chambertin.
