Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 from Domaine Louis Jadot is a profound expression of Burgundy’s highest echelon of red wine — Grand Cru Pinot Noir from one of the Cote de Nuits’ most revered climats. Situated in the heart of the Chambertin hillside, Chapelle-Chambertin’s ancient vineyards produce wines of remarkable depth, structure, and aristocratic character. Under the care of Louis Jadot — one of Burgundy’s most respected houses — it reveals both power and grace, marrying classical tradition with vibrant personality. The 2021 growing season in Burgundy balances warm days with cooler nights, resulting in wines that combine ripe fruit intensity with fresh acidity and impressive textural richness. In capable hands such as Louis Jadot’s, this harmony of ripeness and structure translates into a Grand Cru that is both compelling in youth and promising in long-term ageing. It is a powerful yet nuanced wine of pedigree and presence. It expresses the very heart of Burgundy’s Grand Cru tradition — intensity fused with elegance, structure framed by texture, and complexity that unfolds through time. A magnificent choice for those seeking a deeply rewarding Pinot Noir experience.
Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to magnify the wine’s aromatic breadth and structural elegance. This Grand Cru 2021 pairs beautifully with: roasted or grilled lamb, beef wellington or rare roast beef, wild game and rich mushroom ragù or truffle-accented dishes.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Deep ruby garnet with youthful depth and clarity, hinting at concentrated fruit and structural complexity.
Nose:
Intriguing and layered, with aromas of black cherry, brambly berry, raspberry coulis, and wild red fruits, spun with elegant notes of rose petal, forest floor, spice, and subtle violet. A gentle earthiness and graphite nuance add to the perfume’s complexity.
Palate:
Rich and structured yet refined, revealing a tapestry of flavours: ripe dark fruit, pomegranate, fresh plum, and cocoa powder, supported by firm yet polished tannins. Balanced acidity lifts the fruit and frames an elegant mid-palate, while hints of clove, toasted oak, and a touch of minerality contribute to its layered depth.
Finish:
Long, persistent, and expressive—lingering with dark fruit, gentle spice, and refined tannic grip, promising graceful development with cellaring.
