97 Points Jasper Morris
This was picked on the same day as the Chapelle-Chambertin but is less obviously ultra-ripe. The plot involved here is close to the forest where there is more soil and the site is cooler. It is concentrated but with some elegance, while on the palate, the terroir shows through. Succulent but balanced.
96 Points James Suckling
Plum, orange-peel and dried-meat aromas follow through to a full body, yet it’s so tight and polished with long, persistent tannins that give the wine wonderful depth and character. Still tightly wound. Give this until after 2023 to show it all.
93 Points Wine Spectator
Flavors of black cherry, black currant, earth and spice are draped onto the elegant frame of this red. Its structure lends grip on the compact finish, while the oak is pretty dominant now.
Winemaker Note
Fresh, elegant, and long, what a wine! The plot involved here is close to the forest where there is more soil and the site is cooler. It is concentrated but with some elegance, while on the palate, the terroir shows through. Succulent but balanced.
