Critics Ratings

2007

Good deep, bright red with ruby tones. Redcurrant, cherry, tobacco and earth on the sexy nose. Juicy, suave and laid-back; in a distinctly polite style for a young Chambertin but there's superb depth here; velvety in texture yet almost weightless. Best today on the very long, slowly mounting finish, which delivers mineral energy and captivating lingering sweetness. This, too, is extremely refined Burgundy.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 94/100 (Mar 2010)

2008

'Medium red. Blueberry, minerals and spices on the nose, lifted by notes of rose and white pepper. Pure and silky but with terrific inner-mouth tension to the sappy crushed fruit flavors. Denser than the Latricieres, but every bit as vibrant--and more backward today. Finishes with ripe tannins and subtly complex notes of fruit, game and saline, smoky underbrush. Superb.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 94+/100 (Mar 2011)
