2021 Chambertin, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

An exuberantly floral-inflected nose reflects additional notes of wild, dark currant, Sauvage and cool spice nuances. There is better mid-palate density to the beautifully textured and notably more mineral-driven flavours that exhibit outstanding delineation on the moderately austere, compact and built-to-age finale. Like almost any self-respecting examples of Chambertin, I would recommend not touching this until at least a decade has passed.

Drink from 2033 onward
