"Once again subtle but not invisible oak frames a distinctly spicy and earthy nose of plum dark cherry and violet aromas. There is even more size weight and intensity to the velvety powerful and opulent big-bodied flavors that possess an abundance of palate soaking dry extract that pushes the otherwise tightly coiled tannins to the background on the massively long finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This is very firmly structured but actually a bit less austere than it usually is and will probably be approachable a bit sooner than usual too. In short this brilliant effort is one of the greatest wines of the 2013 vintage."

"Very good deep red. Closer to the CSJ than to the CDB on the nose offering terrific pungent lift to the aromas of black raspberry rose petal and blood orange. Wonderfully sappy and pure without any impression of weightiness to its saline flavors of raspberry spices and white pepper. Utterly fine-grained silky wine with great finesse. One of the longest most palate-saturating wines of this vintage finishing with noble tannins and taste bud-titilllating perfume. Perfectly balanced also but built for a glorious evolution in bottle. It would be a shame to open this bottle too soon."
Wine Advocate: 94-96 Points
"Matured in 100% new oak the 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru has wonderful transparency on the nose beautifully defined with Morello crushed strawberry limestone and orange sorbet. The palate is supremely well balanced with lithe tannins beautiful acidity and real elegance on the finish. This is a sublime Chambertin but I might hedge my bets with the Clos de Bèze this year.
