Deep, bright red with ruby tones. Darker, riper aromas of kirsch, blueberry and minerals. Densely packed and rather powerful, showing a penetrating quality to the dark fruit and crushed rock flavors. Plenty of oak here but a strong floral quality gives this dense, subtly sweet wine lovely perfumed lift. The best of these 2013s by a clear margin. (Drink between 2024-2037)
A slightly riper and more complex nose offers up notes of plum, blue pinot spice, violet, anise and a deft touch of wood. There is excellent richness to the attractively textured and lightly mineral-infused medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a linear, saline and focused finish where enough wood to notice appears. Like the Lavaut St. Jacques this will need at least a decade to be at its best. (Drink starting 2023)
The 2013 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has an earthier bouquet compared to the Chames-Chambertin at the moment, yet still nicely defined and perhaps showing a little more complexity. The palate is well balanced with more substance than the Charmes, greater depth here with a slight savory note toward the structured finish. This is a linear, precise and quite tensile Griottes, though this is one vintage where I might have dialed the new wood down a notch to allow the terroir to be expressed.
