Medium red. Pungent red berries, rose petal, gingerbread and musky underbrush on the nose, with a sappy suggestion of raspberry liqueur emerging with air. Silky and light on its feet, with penetrating red berry and spice flavors given energy on the back end by powerful minerality and captivating floral lift. The liqueur-like raspberry quality seemed to come and go as I drained this bottle to the dregs over a period of 48 hours. Has the tannic spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle. - By Stephen Tonzer on March 2009

Far more successful than two Jadot negociant Chambertin grand crus, their estate 2006 Chapelle-Chambertin – from very old vines – displays an alluring nose of rose petal and red fruits. In the mouth, pure, sweet red berry fruit is superbly transparent to nuances of an herbal and mineral (peat, iodine, chalk) elements, as an apparently direct result of which the finish here is dynamically interactive, a virtue reinforced by the wine's vintage-typical sense of buoyancy. This is texturally refined as well, though not without ample underlying tannin. One can enjoy it now, or anytime over the next decade, I predict.
