Description

A full-bodied and powerful Burgundy Grand cru

The estate

Founded in 1782 and producing wine across nine Burgundy appellations, Domaine Henri Rebourseau is one of the largest estates in owning Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. The estate accommodates land assets of exceptional vines planted on lands that have been worked for more than 1,400 years. Today, the Surrel family cares for this amazing heritage, using biological and biodynamic agricultural practices. It is the territory, rather than the House, that garners the esteem for the wine’s identity.

The vineyard

Domaine Henri Rebourseau stretches across the iconic Burgundy terroir of Côte de Nuits.

The wine

Grand cru 2020 is a Chambertin wine that stems from its eponymous plot where the 59-year-old wines face east on a slope that benefits form an ideal altitude and good natural drainage. This 0.46 hectare terroir has a of a significantly colder climate due to its proximity to the Combe Grisard but enjoys a well ventilated position.

The vintage

The 2020 vintage was marked by an unprecedentedly rainy start to the season in Burgundy, caused by sunny conditions and higher than normal seasonal temperatures. The winter rains replenished ground water which could then compensate the lack of rainfall during the growing season. Unfortunately, a short rainy period disrupted flowering leaving a notably low yield. Despite that, the grapes matured under excellent conditions and ripened up to the harvest, gradually developing remarkable tannins.

Winemaking and ageing

The macerations led to colourful and balanced wines with great ageing potential. Minimal intervention was chosen during the rapid vinification process for this vintage.

Blend

Pinot noir (100%)

Characteristics and tasting tips for Chambertin Grand cru 2020 from Domaine Henri Rebourseau

Tasting

Nose
Powerful and woody, the nose develops delicate scents of black fruit liqueur.

Palate
Full-bodied and graced with a lovely roundness, the palate unveils morello cherry, cacao and spice notes. It also refreshingly reveals very fine and perfectly integrated tannins as well as a lingering finish.

Storage

This red wine can be laid down until about 2035 to release all its aromatic nuances.

Food and wine pairing

This Burgundy wine goes marvellously with stewed hare.
