Tasted at the Denis Mortet Chambertin vertical, the 2008 Chambertin Grand Cru has a really quite lovely nose that is so pure and perhaps it represents the first Chambertin from Arnaud Mortet that unequivocally exudes terroir expression. In a nutshell - this just smells of Chambertin - it takes the taster there. The palate is medium-bodied with pastille-like purity, a fine-boned Chambertin with black cherries and subtle cassis notes, sorbet fresh towards the long and sensual finish. This is an excellent Chambertin that I envisage will come into its own with another 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted January 2016.

(red) Sweet intense pure raspberry nose, wonderfully elegant. Medium-bodied but very concentrated, pure, and intense, with lifted raspberry fruit; tight and very long. For cellaring. .
