Wine Spectator: 93 Points
There are some juicy elements of black cherry in this light-weight red, then the tannins take over. With air, pretty fruit came forward and the elegance came to the forefront. Fine length. Be patient. Best from 2015.
Burghound: 93 Points
An elegant, pure, complex and stylish nose of dense red berry fruit is heavily laced with warm earth and stone notes that also characterize the vibrant, rich and impressive full-bodied flavors blessed with ample amounts of dry extract that renders the otherwise firm tannins almost invisible at present. Still, this will require 12 to 15 years to see its full, and considerable, potential realized. Drink 2020+
Vinous: 93 Points
Deep red. Sexy nose combines dark berries, smoked meat, and minerals. Creamy, layered, and deep, with terrific energy and penetration and a powerful impression of extract. Finishes broad, sweet, and very long. Showing spectacularly today.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Understated in comparison with its immediate siblings – perhaps a reflection of its cool and especially chalky location – the Jadot 2008 Chapelle-Chambertin seems to gain momentum as it gradually ignites one’s senses. It commences with a discreet nose of dark berries, red meat, green herbs, and subtly dusty chalkiness; performs with increasing expressivity on a surprisingly silken palate; and finishes which the interactive complexity, vibrancy, and primary juiciness that characterize so many of the best 2008s. This long, refined Pinot ought to benefit from at least a half dozen years’ aging and be worth following for 15 or more.
