The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very refined bouquet, quite intense and focused, featuring ash-tinged black fruit combined with shaved black truffle. There is real complexity here, in a captivating set of aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and beautifully balanced, and even though it is showing more new oak at the moment, that will be assimilated. Very sustained on the finish, but what I would like to see is a bit more grip and body, as it does not quite "kick on" as expected.

The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) is showing nicely, opening in the glass with notes of sweet berries, spices, loamy soil, licorice and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with fine tannins and good length on the finish, it should turn out well.
