Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Neal Martin - 21 Jun 22
The 1995 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very aromatic bouquet with layers of feisty red fruit, rose petal and a soupçon of peppermint. This remains quite backward compared to other vintages. The palate is well-balanced with impressive weight and concentration. Muscular if compared next to the 1993, albeit without the same level of complexity or personality. I feel this would benefit from another two or three years in bottle. Tasted at the Rousseau Chambertin vertical at La Vienne.
