Vinous Neal Martin - 03 Feb 26
The 2001 Chambertin Grand Cru ranks as one of the finest vintages of the era, Eric Rousseau conjuring a blissful wine that is reaching its peak after 24 years. Surprisingly deep in hue, this has a beguiling nose with blackberry, cassis and light forest floor mixed with black truffle aromas. The palate is likewise quite youthful, with fine backbone, real grip and a symmetry that leaves you lost for words. Just perfect acidity, almost Vosne-like. I absolutely adore this Chambertin.
