RATINGS

98Burghound.com

...ultra-pure...rich, powerful, serious and densely concentrated...silky, palate staining...balance and harmony is present for this to age for decades. A brilliant effort and one of the best vintages ever for this justifiably revered wine.

97+ Stephen Tanzer

...Ineffable aromas of red berries, mint, crushed stone and flowers...silky and taut...powerful, penetrating flavors...This remarkable wine, utterly harmonious from the outset, saturates the palate...It's nearly impossible to spit this.

18+ Jancis Robinson

...Very fragrant rather than majestic. Solid and substantial and a definite step up from Clos de Bèze this year. Some solidity and on the finish there starts to be some exciting interplay between fruits and flowers...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Le Chambertin

Chambertin is a 32.5 acre Grand Cru vineyard in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. More than 25 proprietors own parcels, and some parcels are as small as about 50 square yards. The famous vineyard gets its name from a 7th century peasant, Monsieur Bertin. The name is assumed to come from the phrase “champ Bertin,” or Bertin’s field. Chambertin has an altitude that varies from 275 to 300 meters and is tucked under the Montagne de la Combe-Grisard, sheltering the site from strong winds. The soil is limestone, though there is also clay and gravel. Principal proprietors by acreage owned are Armand Rousseau, 5.38 acres; Jean and Jean-Louis Trapet, 4.75 acres; and Rossignol-Trapet, 4 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
