Wine Enthusiast
Packed with tannins and with enormous structure, this wine is opulent while very firm. At the same time, smoky acidity shoots through all this density. From a great terroir, this wine shows minerality and its great structure well. Drink from 2023. Cellar Selection.

James Suckling
All in the finish here with bright dark fruit and lemon character. Spicy, yet floral and superb. Full body, firm tannins and a long, long finish. From 90-year-old vines. Wonderful. It goes on for minutes on the palate. Startling. Better in 2018.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tightly-wound bouquet: raspberry preserve, crushed strawberry, a touch of truffle and forest-floor scents (perhaps a hint of ceps coming through). The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins and good acidity. This is very harmonious and sleek in the mouth, although I would have liked more personality to come through on the finish, that, like the Charmes-Chambertin, is showing a lot of wood at present.
Range: 91-93 -
Wine Spectator
Offering a rigid block of cherry and raspberry flavors, with solid tannins, this red is seemingly impenetrable now. All the components are there and the finish is long, so have faith. Best from 2019 through 2033.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
The origin of perhaps the world’s very finest Pinot Noir, Côte de Nuits is the northern half of the Côte d'Or and includes the famous wine villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echezeaux and Nuits-St-Georges.
Fine whites from Chardonnay are certainly found in the Côte de Nuits, but with much less frequency than top-performing reds made of Pinot noir. The little village of Nuits-St-Georges in its southern end gave the region its name: Côte de Nuits. The city of Dijon marks its northern border.
