The 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet with attractive brambly red fruit, briar, forest floor, and a touch of rose petal. Very elegant and refined. The medium-bodied palate has supple tannins, fleshy and poised, with a touch of allspice towards the satin-textured finish that fans out beautifully. This is a wonderful Chapelle-Chambertin that should not be ignored.

Deep and seamless, the 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries, orange zest, peonies and vine smoke. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a pure core of fruit and sweet, powdery structuring tannins, this old-vine cuvée is once again a highlight chez Jadot.

Cask sample. Pale purplish crimson. There is gorgeously seductive sweet fruit on the palate. This has massive intensity on the palate. Quite a bit of fine tannin on the end. Needs a bit of time but this should provide an enormous amount of pleasure. (JR)
