Burghound: 96-98 Points
"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."

"The 2013 Chambertin is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Aristocratic in its bearing the Chambertin is simply magnificent today. The overall impression is of a totally spherical wine that has no beginning and no end. Layers of flavor continue to open up in the glass in a sublime textured wine that captures the truest essence of what Burgundy is all about. The pulsating vibrant finish is classic 2013."
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.
