93-96 points Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
An elegant mid purple colour, quite a fine fruit on the nose, the alpine strawberries matched by a floral note. Now some fresh red cherries. Delicately nuanced as always but with a suave burst of fresh cherry fruit to finish. Drink from 2028-2036.
93 - 95 points William Kelley
Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices, espresso roast, loamy soil and orange oil, the 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a seamless core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. Rich and penetrating, it's the most reserved wine in the cellar at this youthful stage.
