Tasting notes
The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru has some reduction on the nose that is currently masking what feels like concentrated black fruit. There’s a lot of extraction here, and this is an extravagant Chambertin in the making. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins—a fleshier style of Chambertin with sour cherry and black pepper. There is some stem addition here, but it is not as well-integrated, though there is lovely sense of "flow" on the finish. Jury is out on this for now. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
