Chapelle-Chambertin grand cru, Maison Roche de Bellene 2020
A gorgeous nose of coal and pressed violets, a ripe vapour, notes of mint, black cherry, creamy new wood and rich dark fruits. Ripe but cool. Full-bodied, the freshness is immediately apparant and balances a natural sweetness, and there are bags of dark cherry fruit flavours, a touch of black olive, and soft spices. The tannins are fine and svelte and help carry through to a fresh, tangy, layered and long finish.
CORTON Grand Cru Clos du Roi Thibault Liger-Belair 2016
(this is another new wine for Liger-Belair, from vines planted in 1952 and 1944; about 38 hectoliters per hectare produced; made with 20% whole clusters): Bright ruby-red. Kirsch, licorice and mint dominate the youthfully medicinal nose. Then distinctly dark in character and clenched today, showing limited sweetness and early personality to its savory flavors of dark berries, mint and licorice. There's a cool medicinal quality here that's just this side of hard. Finishes more salty than sweet, with building tannins. The white marl in the soil gives this wine a firm style, notes Liger-Belair, who may give it a later bottling.
