Evident wood and menthol elements frame the mostly cool and reserved dark berry fruit, earth and freshly turned earth aromas. The rich broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent punch and minerality while flashing obvious muscle on the stony, chiseled and powerful finish that is once youthfully austere and linear. Like the Grands Ech, this is going to need considerable time to shed its very firm tannic shell. Score: 91 - 93 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2033+ 10 January 2020 |

The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on September 7 and made with 50% whole bunch and 40% new oak. It has a very pure, generous bouquet with layers of red cherries, crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Very lithe and fresh, leading to a delineated finish that ranks alongside many others I have tasted. This is a superb Chambertin that will age with style. Score: 94 - 96 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2023-2045 01 January 2020 |

Cask sample. Intense and concentrated nose. Good balance with near-majestic fruit almost covering the oaky structure. Definitely the star of the tasting even if slightly lighter than the most majestic Chambertin. Score: 17+ Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2028-2043 28 November 2019 |
