The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is similarly brilliant, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice, sweet spices and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's fleshy and textural, with terrific depth at the core, powdery structuring tannins and a long, resonant finish. The cool-vintage profile works brilliantly with this earlier-ripening site.

Last year, I posed the question of whether the 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru might be Tremblay's best wine to date. Drinking it again this spring, I am left with no doubt. What's more, it's also one of the most compelling Burgundies produced in this great vintage. Bursting with aromas of raspberries and sweet red fruits mingled with rose petals, blood orange, exotic spices and a subtle hint of espresso roast, it's full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with incredible depth at the core, beautifully refined tannins and a long, expansive finish. Readers with bottles in their cellars should try to exercise more patience than I did.

The most gourmand, generous vintage Tremblay has produced to date, the 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is a veritable fruit bomb. Bursting with aromas of rich berry fruit, spices, licorice, vine smoke and plums, it's full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a seamless, enveloping profile and a long, floral finish. Its ripe structuring tannins are almost imperceptible, such is the extent of its mid-palate plentitude. I expect it to become more serious with bottle age, though it offers plenty of pleasure in its hedonistic youth.

Like many wines from this charming, demonstrative vintage, Tremblay's 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru can already be drunk with pleasure. Exhibiting aromas of red berries and plums mingled with notions of orange rind, warm spices and vanilla pod, it's full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a round, giving core of fruit framed by supple tannins and lively acids. Expect it to put on additional depth with further bottle age, much like its 2007 counterpart.
