The Story

Côte de Nuits in the year 640 AD as a monastic property. In 1219 it passed to the canons of Langres, who retained ownership until the Revolution of 1789. The name Chambertin has been used since the 13th century and once shared imperial approval with Clos de Bèze - Napoleon would drink nothing else.

Vintage 2015

The 2015 Harvest by Clive Coates MW

Written Notes

(from a .055 ha parcel of vines planted in 1913 at a density of 14,000 vines/ha - vinified with 95% of the stems) This beautifully elegant and cool effort combines high-toned floral and herbal tea notes with those of pure red and dark cherry, earth and spice scents. The overtly powerful and again imposingly concentrated big-bodied and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess a seductive and sappy mid-palate that contrasts considerably with the driving and massively long finish that is presently quite youthfully austere but I wouldn't expect it to last beyond a few years. This is a breathtakingly big and powerful wine and if you can find a bottle, plan on cellaring it for years if you wish to drink it when mature as it's going to need it. 94-97
