Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88)The 2015 Rolland de By has come together nicely since I tasted it from barrel. There is plenty of both depth and definition to the dark cherry, tobacco and grilled herb flavors. Pliant, supple and inviting, the 2015 will drink nicely for at least the next handful of years. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)Made with 50% whole bunches in 2012, this has notes of pepper and clove spice on the nose and palate. There's plenty of sweet vanilla oak too, with chalky minerality and a hint of reduction on the palate. The wine was picked earlier and shows charming red fruits that complement the savoury undertones. |

Vinous (89-92)Good full red. Darker but less perfumed on the nose than the Latricières, offering aromas of black raspberry and licorice complicated by smoke and cocoa powder and perked up by peppery spices. Silky-sweet in the mouth; clearly the plushest and densest of these 2014s to this point. There's more mid-palate stuffing here to support the slightly dusty, late-arriving tannins. This is always a dense wine, notes David Rossignol--closer to Chambertin in style than to Griottes, for example. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from two plots, apparently from 2019 the domaine plans two separate cuvées, one from the lieu-dit of Les Gemeaux. It has an understated, beautifully defined bouquet that gradually unfurls in the glass: brambly red berry fruit, autumn leaves and hints of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is born with a pitch perfect line of acidity that imparts an engaging sense of harmony, very pure with a dash of spice on the finish. Superb. |

Vinous (95)The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more feminine and elegant bouquet than the Latricières, offering pure red berry fruit, pressed rose petals and light sous-bois notes, all very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a superb line of acidity, good cohesion and more precision than the Latricières toward the wonderfully persistent finish. This should age with style. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a slightly bricking hue, presumably due to whole bunch addition. The nose delivers on that, overtly stemmy to the point that it masks the red berry fruit and used tea leaf scents behind it. Thankfully, they do seem to be assimilated with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, again quite stemmy and brittle. There is plenty of freshness here but if you don't like whole cluster Burgundy, avoid. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |
