The positive selection from Le Roi Chambertin
I found many fine wines at Le Roi Chambertin – 2017 is a delightful vintage … and I already tasted some of the wines there.
Here are a few known or less known:
Domaine Tawse/Domaine Marchand Tawse – lovely wines – I tasted the range in early June 2018 … and they are just delightful .. both the Lavaux and the Mazis-Chambertin are well worth collecting.
Domaine Cecile Tremblay offered a taste of the Chapelle-Chambertin – needless to say … lovely wine in the making – a lovely and actually relatively forward wine.
The Faiveley lineup showed very well – I have more on the Faiveley wines in a separate article – the Clos des Issarts, the Clos de Beze and the Cazetiers are showing delightfully.
Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet have made some gorgeous 2017s … continuing the positive development from 2015 and 2016. This is top end … especially the Cazetieres and the Lavaux St. Jacques were showing beautifully.
A new producer for me – Domaine Jerome Gayleyrand a relatively new strong talent – organic and biodynamic methods – making very vivid wines. These are very interesting wines – presumably low sulphur – lively and refined. Three village wines at this tasting – La Justice, En Billard and En Croisette … different yet all good – with the two last being the best on the day at lest. These are indeed lovely wines.
Domaine Marc Roi are lovely and I already tasted the lineup during the summer – a bit reduced on the day.
Domaine Camille Giroud – now with Carel Voorhuis making the wines – at a very fine level. Lavaut St. Jacques and Charmes Chambertin were all fine – as the village Les Crais.
Finally Domaine Duroche was showing the lovely Lavaut St. Jacques … a gorgeous wine.
