Since inception in 2007, Olivier Bernstein has rapidly established himself as one of the new stars of Burgundy. The 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru has wonderful intensity and richness on the nose with aromas redolent of sweet blackberry, raspberry, violets and crushed minerals. The palate is seamless, glossy in texture and delivers focused mineral power with supreme elegance.

Vinous
Dark medium red. Ineffable nose combines tight, wild red berries, musky animal nuances and a hint of torrefaction, enlivened by hint notes of wild mint and white pepper. Densely packed and chewy; a distinctly masculine wine with outstanding intensity and underlying structure. And yet the texture is silky too. This utterly palate-saturating wine finishes with explosive rising notes of red berries, game, licorice, pepper, mint and saline minerality and great perfumed persistence. The crop level from these old vines and small berries was between 30 and 35 hectoliters per hectare, as Bernstein routinely does multiple green harvests here to ensure that the clusters finish at roughly the same level of potential alcohol. Incidentally, Bernstein attempted to ensure freshness in his 2015s by using 80% whole clusters to balance the ripeness of the fruit.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
