John Gilman: 93 Points
The 2021 Chambolle Premier Cru is really, really strong this year chez Drouhin. This wine just screams Chambolle out of the glass, delivering scents of cherries, red plums, a touch of beetroot, sweet stem tones, a lovely base of chalky soil, pigeon and a deft framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and supremely elegant, with a lovely core of velvety red fruit, great soil inflection and grip, fine-grained tannins and a long, complex and very refined finish. Great juice. (Drink between 2032-2085)
Decanter: 92 Points
This voluptuous wine showcases a deep ruby hue and a ripe dark mulberry fruit with notes of earth and smoke. The texture has more density and less acidity than the village-level wines and the ripe fruit and firm tannins carry the wine to a lingering finish. It is a blend of Drouhin family-owned vines in Combottes and Les Plants blended with Les Borniques Les Fuées Les Haut Doix and Feusselottes. The grapes are destemmed and fermented on native yeasts before ageing over two winters in cask (20% new). (Drink between 2025-2045)

A more elegant and airier nose reflects a suggestion of exotic spice nuances and in particular a wisp of jasmine tea on the ripe yet cool aromas of mostly red berries. The precise and markedly stony medium weight flavors possess a highly refined texture thanks to the fine-grained but dense tannins shaping the dusty and youthfully austere finish. This will also need a few years of forbearance as it's presently quite compact. (Drink starting 2031)
Jasper Morris: 91-93 Points
A depth of colour and a delicious classic Chambolle nose for this favourite cuvée which delivers once again. Such a succulence of fruit with all the elegance of Chambolle. Quite good length here too to enjoy. Drink from 2026-2034.
Vinous: 90-92 Points
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru has a nicely detailed bouquet more black fruit than red pressed iris flower and just a faint oyster shell note. The palate is finely crafted with pliant tannins good tension though just missing a little concentration on the finish. A capable Chambolle-Musigny that may well meliorate with a couple of years on the clock. (Drink between 2025-2038)
