Pierre Damoy, Chambertin Grand Cru 2012

Damoy's Chambertin is fabulous in 2012. This is an unusually bright, vibrant 2012, with a decidedly energetic sense of lift that only adds to the wine's considerable appeal. Dark red and purplish-toned fruit, crushed flowers and mint are all super-expressive. Chalky tannins only add to the wine's energy and pure drive. Today, the 2012 is quite embryonic and in need of considerable cellaring.
