"From the left bank of the Rhône, Marie-Thérèse Chappaz's dark-colored 2018 Grain Pinot Champ Dury opens with a very ripe, less concentrated bouquet with more plum notes. [...] The plum nose leads to a warm, intense and round palate with super ripe and sweet fruit, structured by ripe tannins and a firm minerality that, in fact, gives hope for the future."

Expert opinion

Rated (2020 guide) 92+/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
From the left bank of the Rhône, Marie-Thérèse Chappaz's dark-colored 2018 Grain Pinot Champ Dury opens with a very ripe, less concentrated bouquet with more plum notes. The 2018 tastes like a wine bottled without sulfur, and Marie-Thérèse agrees that she could have used more but thinks the wine will be more precise and fresh in three or four years due to its phenols. The plum nose leads to a warm, intense and round palate with superripe, sweet fruit, structured by ripe tannins and a firm minerality that, in fact, gives hope for the future. Tasted in January 2020.
