Chambertin Grand cru 2013

- 93 points -

A cool, pure and wonderfully elegant nose displays notes of airy red and black pinot fruit, humus, smoked meat, spice and a pretty floral nuance, all of which is trimmed in enough wood to notice. Here too there is good richness to the strikingly intense, powerful and serious big-bodied flavors that are constructed on a firm base of minerality while being shaped by ripe tannins on the driving, balanced and beautifully persistent finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose reappears. A classic Chambertin of power and grace.

À propos de Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
