Decanter
Reviewed January 2024The 2022 Chambertin is a monumental wine with supremely ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis fruit loaded with spice and floral notes. There is an immense depth of flavour and a superbly dense and compact texture. As the wine sits in the glass, it seems almost infinitely complex. This tightly wound wine is not as generous as the Clos de Bèze. The truth is that the Bèze is perhaps more immediately engaging, while the Chambertin has more substance and ultimate potential. However, both wines will probably outlive anyone tasting them today since they seem set to age for a century.(CC)

A glowing crimson purple. The bouquet has all the civilised sensuality one could hope for. A glorious and classic Rousseau Chambertin nose. Here the very slight dryness will certainly be swallowed up. The weight of fruit on the palate will see to that. A surge of dense dark strawberry fruit completes the deal Drink from 2035-2050. Tasted Nov 2023.

Toasted spices, new leather, ripe black fruits and crushed slate draw in the nose. The palate is gloriously dense, layered and suave. The tannins are thoroughly ripe and velvety, and the mouthwatering acidity spirals up the back palate. There are over 2.5 hectares of vines here from four different parcels making this an atypically representative Chambertin. Long, dry and minerally on the savory finish, this is one of the true marvels of the vintage.

The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru conveys a sense of grandeur on the nose, leaning slightly more towards red than black fruit, very harmonious and complex, with pressed flower scents filtering through with aeration. It is difficult to drag your nose away from the glass. The medium-bodied palate has very finely sculpted tannins and great depth with a smoothly textured, lightly spiced finish that lingers very long in the mouth. Superb.(NM)
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "Extra width in the higher tones, more restrained in the depth but it’s quite a floral width. Wow – concentrated but at the same time fluid – I’m not sure I’ve used that word to describe their Chambertin before but here we are. Far too drinkable Chambertin – vin dangereux – bravo!"(01/2024)
