Burgundy 2021 Supplement

CHAMBERTINCLOS-DE-BÈZEGRANDCRU At present this is a touch muted but with a clear lift of heady freshness. It is silky, powerful and fresh. There is a big, powerful structure beneath tart ripe red fruit. The fruit hides the powerful, dense structure. This will need time, worthy of one of the greatest sites in Burgundy. 2032-3045 £1,240 - £1,465 / 3 BOTTLES BONNES-MARESGRANDCRU Wow, second in the range only to Chambertin. This is a touch muted at this stage but has everything in place to unfurl over time. It has hints of dark berry, perfume and redcurrant. It has stunning perfume; pure, elegant and lifted, classic Chambolle but with the volume turned up, crunchy, lifted and pure. There is effortless power that moves through gears and layers on the palate. There is layer upon layer of limestone texture with redcurrant, rose petal and finessed power and powdery limestone texture. This has effortless power and will truly reward. Wow, this is very serious indeed. 2030-2045 £1,240 - £1,465 / 3 BOTTLES DOMAINE DE BELLENE - BEAUNE NUITS ST.
