Domaine du Clos Frantin's Chambertin 2020 has to be a stunning wine and it is available!
Les Chambertin is one of Burgundy's great Grand Crus. It produces majestic, powerful wines capable of extended aging.
The vineyard is 12.9 hectares in size with over 20 owners. Domaine du Clos Frantin are one of the smallest with only 0.17 hectares. In a normal vintage this amounts to 1 1/2 to 2 barrels of wine. In small vintages production is even lower. And that is the case in 2020.
We have just 12 bottles of the 2020 Chambertin for Australia!

This is a flamboyant, wildly perfumed Chambertin! Its vines lie in the chilly upper reaches of the Grand Cru, which certainly contributes to the wine's vivacity. Dark cherry fruits meet pain au chocolat on the nose. As it opens, evergreen and struck flint weave into the mix. Rather masculine in style, the tannins are dense and somewhat strappy. Blazing acidity pulls the wine into a long finish dappled with smoky minerality. 2025-45.

Decanter, Charles Curtis MW
Dark blackberry fruit, with notes of mineral and spice. On the palate the wine is very tannic, structured and very long. It is a bit closed and backwards, but there is great potential for ageing and it should open well with time. Bichot owns a 0.17ha parcel of Chambertin at the very top of the slope, planted north-south. The grapes are fermented slowly in open-top wood fermenters and punched down regularly. (Drink between 2025-2060).

Rich imperial purple, a little bit of oak, perhaps something lightly oxidative in this sample. High acidity, ripe supple tannins, a very significant intensity of a pure red concentrated fruit. Pretty much all whole bunch. There is a very significant wealth of fruit towards the back, full of energy, I think this will come through, and the wine will be fresher than the first nose suggested. 93-97 Points
Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru comes from parcels in close proximity to Latricières. It has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, briary, crushed stone and a touch of menthol, the latter just a little incongruous. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent opening, a fleshy and quite generous Chambertin, caressing and velvety with a deep, almost "plump" finish. This should be approachable vis-a-vis its peers, though there is satisfying substance here. (Drink between 2025-2048). 93-95 Points

Decanter Magazine
From a 0.17ha, domaine-owned parcel located high on the Chambertin slope, this is a cool terroir and one of the last to be picked. Following a traditional vinification in open-top wooden vats, the wine is aged over two winters in cask (70% new). There is a rugged, savoury aspect to the dark fruit aromas, with hints of spice and earth. The texture is compact and tannic, and this should open well with age. Drinking window 2024-2039.

Classy crimson-purple in colour. The nose is discreet, stylish and very promising. The fruit is then noticeably richer in the mouth, headingtowards a touch of very ripe plums, but resisting crossing the line. There is proper intensity to the finish and enough acidity. 94-97 Points
