98 / 100"A touch of spice - something like pepper and clove - appears first. Then there is red fruit and subtlety. The palate is a picture of translucent but structured finesse that puts red fruit, red berry, centra stage. Tannins are subtle and fine, providing gentle firmness in the background. The aromas are pure, precise and poetic."

"The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautiful nose with very delineated blackberry and raspberry fruit, rose petal and light cedar scents, focused and full of class. The palate is well-defined, quite strict on the entry, good tension with a touch of black pepper towards the persistent finish. Very fine, even if not within the top ranking Chambertins in this vintage. - 92-94 Points, Neal Martin"
