Domaine Tortochot Chambertin Grand Cru 2016
Burgundy wine Chambertin Grand Cru
A completely different and very seductive red and blue berry fruit nose combines with obvious earth, minerality and violet aromas that give way to textured and admirably concentrated medium full-bodied flavors that really coat and stain the palate with sap. There is a very ripe tannic spine with a mildly rustic mouth feel

"A completely different and very seductive red and blue berry fruit nose combines with obvious earth, minerality and violet aromas that give way to textured and admirably concentrated medium full-bodied flavors that really coat and stain the palate with sap. There is a very ripe tannic spine with a mildly rustic mouth feel and plenty of muscle and punch. This is very impressive but be prepared to be patient." (Janvier 2008)
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Volnay 1er Cru
Domaine Bart
Chambertin
Discreet but not invisible wood influence easily allows the overtly spicy and floral-inflected red currant and dark pinot fruit aromas to shine. The succulent and slightly denser larger-scaled flavors
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Corton Charlemagne
Domaine Bart
Clos De Bèze
An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, violets and underbrush. There is terrific intensity and a lovely minerality to the ripe and well-delineated medium weight
Domaine Bart
Chambertin
An ultra-spicy and markedly floral nose combines notes of red cherry, wild currant and earth with those of soft game and underbrush nuances. The polished, sophisticated and intense middle weight
Domaine Lamarche
Echezeaux
Domaine Anne Gros
Bourgogne Blanc
A pungent nose of sulfur, wood and reduction completely dominates the fruit today. Otherwise the succulent, round and plump easy-going flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced finale
Domaine Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Corton Charlemagne
Domaine Bart
Clos De Bèze
An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, violets and underbrush. There is terrific intensity and a lovely minerality to the ripe and well-delineated medium weight
Domaine Bart
Bonnes Mares
A distinctly earthy and spicy nose flashes notes of dark cherry, rose petal and raspberry. The much richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power on the robust, dusty and mouth coating finish
Domaine Livera Philippe
Gevrey Chambertin
This is notably cooler and more restrained yet just as elegant with ripe, elegant, pure and airy earth and mineral suffused red berry aromas
