Tasting Notes
Stunning aromatic complexity with ultra pure layers upon layers of black and red pinot fruit mixed with violets, dried rose petals and rich soil notes plus far more minerality than this wine usually displays. The moderately structured flavors are buffered by superb extract and the sheer depth and breadth of flavors is dazzling. As classic Chambertin goes, this is not especially massive and more of a muscular middle weight but it is incredibly long and the intensity is simply breathtaking. Allen Meadows, Burghound Jan01,2003

Tasted alongside the 2001 Clos Saint Jacques, the 2001 Chambertin Grand Cru possesses an ethereal, floral bouquet of raspberry jam, Morello cherries, minerals and undergrowth, gaining in intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is very natural and refined, in no way a powerful Chambertin, rather one of finesse, grace and purity. Divine. Drink now-2026. Tasted January 2014. Apr 2014, www.robertparker.com
