James Suckling: 96 Points
The rose and dried-strawberry aromas with subtle stone, fruit tea and walnut notes are so persuasive in this. Full-bodied, firm and powerful yet very balanced and polished. Shows strength with finesse. Reserved and tight. Give it time to shows its greatness. Try after 2023.
Vinous: 96 Points
Bright medium red. Lovely rose petal lift to the vibrant aromas of red cherry, pomegranate, menthol and licorice. Wonderfully rich and sharply delineated: a level above the foregoing wines in creaminess and depth but with pungent minerality giving it a distinctly primary quality and great snap. Classic, youthfully imploded grand cru with a tightly coiled whiplash of a finish and no hard tannins to interfere with the extremely persistent flavors of flowers, mace and minerals. A beauty in the making and likely to be long-lived.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is showing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, unfurling in the glass with a lovely and expressive bouquet of cherries, dark chocolate, incense and subtle hints of smoky new oak and clove. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety with a deep core of fruit, tangy but ripe acids and a long, penetrating finish. It's a beautifully elegant and direct example of Chapelle-Chambertin, from a parcel planted in 1920-1921 where most of the old vines remain intact.
Burghound: 95 Points
Moderately strong wood and menthol elements frame the aromas of essence of red cherry, forest floor, rose petal, sauvage and newly turned earth hints. The rich, intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint, all wrapped in a balanced, austere and incredibly persistent finish. The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus, is a wine that is not only built-to-age but one that is going to need plenty of it.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Tangy cherry and raspberry fruit flavors signal this tightly knit red. Tense and elegant, with flashes of floral and spice, buoyed by a solid structure. Fine length. Best from 2023 through 2043.
