"These fifty-six year-old vines in Chapelle-Chambertin have turned out a brilliant wine in 2011 and I was very happy to find that the slightly oxidative sample at the Salon de Gevrey was simply unrepresentative. The 2011 Chapelle was raised in fifty percent new oak. This is a brilliant wine in the making, offering up a complex and very pure nose of red and black cherries, blood orange, cocoa powder, a touch of nutskin, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with a very suave attack, ripe, classy tannins on the backend and superb focus on the very long, youthful and vibrant finish. This will be an absolutely stunning wine, but it will want at least a decade in the cellar to truly reach its apogee."
