- 95Burghound
A ripe yet restrained, cool and surprisingly airy given the nature of the vintage displays a highly complex nose of red currant, blue berry, dark berries and ample minerality that continues onto the relatively accessible medium weight plus flavors that possess a plenitude of mouth coating dry extract. This is gorgeously, indeed almost painfully intense with explosive power to the austere and driving finish. This does a slow but inexorable build from the mid-palate and despite all of the muscle, this is actually a wine of balance and refinement. Most impressive.
Details
Domaine Tortochot's 2009 Chambertin comes from a tiny .31 hectare plot. Arguably the greatest of Gevrey-Chambertin's Grand Crus, Domaine Tortochot's 2009 Chambertin does not disappoint. It is extremely complex, with earthy red fruit aromas and quite full-bodied on the palate. Quite good now, but the firm and persistent finish suggest this will benefit from significant time in the cellar.
