Chambertin

2008 Camus Chambertin

By billn on October 31, 2011

Very nice, deep, almost textured nose that’s complex and shows a little undergrowth – no facile fruit here. In the mouth there is more fat here than the Latricières and understated yet underpinning acidity. More complexity, and a wide road of flavours into the finish. This is actually very good.

Aromatically this is very wide and complex. Round, full, textured and complex – pretty much everything is here – and good as the previous wines were, by an easy margin the most complete of these Gevrey grand crus.

2008 Roche de Bellene Chambertin

The nose here is tighter. The palate, however, shows a superb depth of flavour that insinuates itself into your palate – very, very long. As a package, today I prefer the Bèze. Tomorrow, if the aromas bloom I might differ…

2008 Gambal Alex Chambertin

A wider panorama of aromas than the Clos de Vougeot – seemingly more virile too. Impact, fat texture, a really super extra mid-palate dimension plus super length. This is quite a rich wine, but it’s the initial flavour ‘impact’ that wows. It’s not easy to find ‘worthy’ Chambertin, but here’s one!
