Arnaud Mortet - Mazoyères-Chambertin 2021 (750ml)

   
Burghound 92-94 points
"A broad array of spice elements adds to the appeal of the wonderfully fresh wild cherry and red currant, earth and subtle sauvage nuances. The sleek, intense and caressing broad-shouldered flavors possess both good volume and muscle on the powerful, focused and moderately austere finale. This is very impressive though note that it's going to need at least a decade to resolve its firm tannins. Excellent."
Vinous 92-94 Points
"The 2021 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru is matured in 20% new oak and 50% whole bunches (pédicelles). This has another crushed stone-scented bouquet, unfurling beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, blood orange and touches of marmalade. Quite firm and structured towards the finish, a more masculine Mazoyères that will require 3-5 years in bottle." 
Jasper Morris 93-95
"A quarter has been aged in new wood and 50- 60% pedicel vinification. Full purple with a rich heady nose from the clay-based soil. Solid, earthy fruit with grand cru weight but not the most finesse. Continues well across the palate. This needs more time before revealing itself fully."
