3 January 2012: To accompany our coquelet roasted with garlic, onion and carrots, we opened a bottle of 1993 Chambertin Clos de B
èze, Louis Jadot. Initially not very generous on the palate, austere, angular, a little funky even on the nose. Closed down after 1 hour in glass. The transformation happened after about 2.5 hours of decanting. Yummy pinot fruit, forest floor, mushroom, leather and a touch of spice. A solid palate, showing robust structure, well-integrated acidity, sinewy muscles and finishing with a long length. A very strong reflection of terroir and vintage. 18/20
