Like so many of these wines, the 2015 captures an incredibly appealing combination of deep, rich fruit and lifted aromatics. In other words, this is a quintessential 2015. - Antonio Galloni |

Vinous (92+)Medium red. Reticent but complex aromas of redcurrant, earth, mocha, iron, tobacco, underbrush and menthol. Suave and fine-grained, with highly nuanced flavors of redcurrant, leather, earth, game and mocha. Offers more volume and aging potential than the Lavaux, but this still-young wine is much less expressive today. Finishes sweet, supple and very long, with suave, fine tannins. |

Jancis Robinson (18+)Vines planted in 1960. Destemmed whole berries with a light cold soak. Three weeks’ maceration in total. 35% new oak. Two months in stainless steel after 18 months in oak. Very heavy bottle... Mid crimson – not an eye-catching grand cru intensity of colour. Heady nose with the merest suggestion of decay. Masses of sweetness and still a bit of dusty tannin and introspection. There is so much here but it’s not quite ready for public display. Truly massive in scale – this wine is still a bit brutal. For the moment it’s a little dry on the end. |

Vinous (97)The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has quite a meaty nose, featuring plenty of brambly red fruit, desiccated orange peel and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-fresh entry. This is a more zesty Chambertin, lively and even a little tart toward the finish. Does it convey the substance of this noble vineyard? I’m not convinced, and that is perhaps reflective of the vintage, yet after 15 minutes it seems to gain extra layers of complexity, and it's only then you realize that this is the real deal. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru is very well-defined and focused on the nose, mineral-rich black fruit, sous-bois and cedar emerging with time, conveying a sense of effortlessness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, an almost symmetrical balance with a poised, pixelated finish. This is an outstanding Chambertin that will age with style. Couldn't get your Rousseau allocation? Try this on for size. |

Vinous (88-91)The 2015 Charmes-Chambertin is a soft-open knit wine with mid-weight structure and good overall persistence. This is the only wine in the range I tasted from tank. Perhaps for that reason, the Charmes is a bit reticent. It will be interesting to see if the wine gains more volume. The decision to move this wine into tank and bottle it early, suggests it may not have the depth of the best wines in the range. - Antonio Galloni |

Dark blue/purplish fruit, licorice, spice and lavender are pushed forward. Deep, exuberant and immediate, the Charmes offers all of the open-knit, inviting character that is so typical of this site. The 2/3rds whole clusters are very nicely balanced in the early going. |
