Tasting Notes and Scores

91-93 NM

The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on September 12, four days prior to the Clos-de-Bèze. It offers more complexity and mineralité on the nose by comparison, featuring blackberry, raspberry and briar scents; rose petal and light bergamot notes emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannins on the entry. Quite sinewy for a Chambertin and maybe missing a little grace and refinement on the finish. Not bad, but I prefer some of Bouchard’s other Grand Crus this year.
