2017 Olivier Bernstein Chambertin Grand Cru

Description

96    Decanter
“Part owned by Olivier Bernstein, this 0.42ha parcel has yielded one of his best wines in 2017. The new wood, as ever, is quite assertive, but there’s a lot of wine beneath its surface. Focussed, layered and complex, this has plum, raspberry and blueberry fruit with notes of incense and Asian spices.”

95    Wine Spectator
“Dark and brooding, this red is monolithic for the moment, with black cherry, blackberry, iron and earth flavors tightly interwoven with the dense structure. Sandalwood, smoke and spicy oak nuances add detail. Overall this is ripe, balanced and muscular. Be patient. Best from 2024 through 2045.”
