(96-99 points) Wonderful rich crimson purple, the bouquet has something of everything from ripe griottine cherries, through a little pepper, to some fresh alpine strawberries. Is it as noble as the Clos St Jacques ? I am not sure. Is it even more complex? Probably. Another great wine in the making. The fruit shows a little darker (in a good way) right at the back and once again is magically persistent.

(95-97 points) The 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a vivacious bouquet with fine delineation, fragrant rose petal and peony scents infuse the mixture of red and black fruit that intensify with aeration, almost sorbet like with touches of squeezed orange zest. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit. Fine detail and poise in situ, very focused and surfeit with livewire energy, this is destined to be a superb Griotte-Chambertin for long-term ageing. Four barrels produced. - Neal Martin

(93-96 points) This is more elegant still with its wafting nose of spice, violet, earth and exotic tea. The caressing and rich big-bodied flavors possess a positively gorgeous mouthfeel while culminating in a chalky, balanced, palate coating and hugely long finale. In a word, marvelous.

(94-96 points) The 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with a lovely bouquet of plums, wild berries, raw cocoa, rose petals and violets. Full-bodied, ample and velvety, it's seamless and concentrated, with a fleshy core of ripe, succulent fruit and a long, expansive finish. - WK
