Tasting Notes

The Chambertin 2010 has an effortless quality on the nose with seamlessly integrated oak, lovely purity, notes of raspberry, wild strawberry and just a hint of cassis and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety smooth tannins and perfect acidity. Very fine weight, very pure and sensuous with an elegant rather than powerful finish. This is a Chambertin that does not put a foot out of place. Perfect finish.

Score: 97 - 99

The 2010 Chambertin is exceptional for its polish and sheer elegance. Nothing in particular stands out, instead the Chambertin impresses for its fabulous overall sense of harmony. The integration of fruit, tannin and oak is beyond impeccable. Silky tannins wrap around a finish laced with dark red berries, licorice and sweet spices.

Somewhat ironically, this is both more elegant and fresher than the Clos de Bèze with one of the most complex noses of the entire vintage as it combines a seemingly endless array of spice, mineral, fruit and Gevrey sauvage characters. The impressively rich, serious, mouth coating and broad-shouldered flavors possess superb volume and muscle on the sensationally persistent and explosive finish. This is even more backwards than the Bèze and should be capable of rewarding 20 plus years of cellar time as the tannins are fine but dense. At such an early juncture I honestly can't say whether this will match, or even exceed, the brilliant 2009 but it just might as the 2010 is clearly one of the best five wines of the vintage. - Comments: Don't miss!
