Chambertin Grand Cru 2020
The vintage exemplifies the regal status of this historic grand cru, widely considered one of Burgundy's greatest terroirs. Coming from what is often called the "King of Wines," this bottling demonstrates why Chambertin holds such an exalted position in the hierarchy of Burgundian vineyards.
The bouquet is profound and aristocratic, offering extraordinary complexity with layers of dark fruits, exotic spices, forest floor, and sophisticated mineral notes. The aromatic depth is remarkable, showing the kind of complexity and refinement that only great Chambertin can achieve, with each return to the glass revealing new dimensions.
On the palate, the wine displays magnificent power and concentration while maintaining perfect equilibrium. The structure is commanding yet supremely elegant - a hallmark of great Chambertin - with refined tannins providing the architectural framework for extended cellaring. The finish is remarkably persistent and multi-layered, showing waves of fruit, earth, and mineral notes that seem to last indefinitely, demonstrating the profound depth that makes Chambertin such a legendary terroir.
This wine represents both the pinnacle of Charlopin's craftsmanship and the exceptional character of one of Burgundy's most historic and revered grand crus.
