2016 Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, Grand Cru

Bright medium red. Lovely rose petal lift to the vibrant aromas of red cherry, pomegranate, menthol and licorice. Wonderfully rich and sharply delineated; a level above the foregoing wines in creaminess and depth but with pungent minerality giving it a distinctly primary quality and great snap. Classic, youthfully imploded grand cru with a tightly coiled whiplash of a finish and no hard tannins to interfere with the extremely persistent flavors of flowers, mace and minerals. A beauty in the making--and likely to be long-lived.
