Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2012 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is raised entirely in new oak and includes less whole cluster in order to retain the femininity of the cru. It has a well-defined, mineral rich bouquet that remains tight at the moment, refusing to acquiesce in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, quite succulent tannins, good acidity, a gentle grip and impressive build towards the structured blackberry and blueberry-driven finish. Very good tension here and in synch with the fruit, this Charmes-Chambertin should age well over the next 20 years. Rating 93-95/100. -Antonio Galloni-

Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com:

A restrained and wonderfully aromatically complex nose displays intensely floral elements, cassis, black cherry and humus along with plenty of that Gevrey sauvage character. There is excellent phenolic maturity to the supporting structure that is already well-integrated on the extract-rich, round and delicious flavors. While there is a relatively refined mouth feel, there is also good muscle and power on the gorgeously long and serious finish. This beautifully well-balanced effort will also require lots of patience. Rating 94/100. -Allen Meadows’ Burghound.com-

Vinous:

Deep, bright ruby-red. Boysenberry and blackberry aromas show an almost confectionery quality. At once thick and lively on the attack, then harmonious and round in the middle, with intense dark berry flavors accompanied by strong torrefaction notes of licorice, smoke and bitter chocolate. Finishes very long but tight, with tannins a bit less refined than those of the 2013 version. Like the Petite Chapelle, there's little in the way of easy sweetness here but this very young wine should gain in complexity and pliancy with extended bottle age.Rating 93+/100. -Stephen Tanzer-
