96+ points Sonoma Wine Journal: "Violet robe. Exceptionally pure nose of spicy cherries, and with aeration the bouquet also shows notes of raspberries, iron, minerals, cinnamon, and flowers. The attack is all pure stalky Pinot fruits, still too young to fully enjoy but showing all the hallmarks of a great wine that simply needs time to evolve. Delicious and vibrant, the finely delineated tannins are enmeshed in the silken finish that lasts for nearly 60 seconds. Remarkable balance between the generous composition of fruit, acidity, tannins. For parents with children born in 2007 and who can afford this beauty, this would be an excellent Grand Cru Burgundy to cellar until your child's 21st birthday or other special occasions. From Laurent Ponsot. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2030. (Oct 2010)"

Wine Spectator: "[$200/375ml list] Deeply colored, this tastes like baked apples, caramel and spice, in a concentrated, lively frame. It's compact and tangy, with a moderate finish. Drink now through 2010. (2003)"

93 points Fine Wine Review: "The Charmes-Chambertin is lighter than the Combottes, almost lacy, with purity, but it needs some time to develop. I’d expect to drink it 2014-2032. (Issue #126; 2009)"
90-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from both Charmes proper and Mazoyères). This is shut down tight with thick reduction blocking any reasonable evaluation of the nose though the relatively big and weighty flavors are concentrated, serious and solidly structured. This seems quite promising as the underlying material is impressive but note that this will not be a precocious example of Charmes. Drink: 2016+. (Jan 2008)"

93-96 points Fine Wine Review: "The Chapelle-Chambertin is pure and deep with darker fruit than the Griotte and a fine minerality. The last several vintages have been kind to Chapelle-Chambertin, both here and at other addresses, and this one overflows with fruit. (Feb 2009)"
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As fine as the Griotte and Charmes are in 2007, the Chapelle takes the quality up to the next level in this vintage, as it combines the precision and nascent complexity of the Charmes and the deeper and sappier profile of the Griotte. The bouquet is outstanding, as the wine jumps from the glass in a blaze of black cherries, cocoa, game, blood orange, and black soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with great focus and balance, fine-grained tannins, tangy acids and outstanding length and grip on the complex and classy finish. A great bottle of Chapelle. 2014-2040. (Jan/Feb 2009)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$316 list] Seems marked by oak, yet with substance underneath. Cedar and sandalwood aromas are backed by cherry, currant, anise and mineral flavors, but overall this is sweet, intense and saturated on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2025. 40 cases imported. (8/25/10)"
92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .60 ha parcel split 50/50 between Chapelle and En Gémeaux). A ripe liqueur-like nose featuring red and blue berry fruit that has violet and rose fragrances around the edges that precede rich, full, sappy and wellmuscled big-bodied flavors that are seductive, minerally and textured and culminate in a punchy, energetic and driving finish. I like the underlying sense of tension here and while the big tannins are less sophisticated than those of the Griotte, there is perhaps a bit more overall depth here, at least at present. Drink: 2019+. (Jan 2010)"

96 points Wine Spectator: "[$245 list] Like a tropical fruit marmalade, this is thick and flavorful and kept lively by moderate acidity. Dominated by the sweetness today, it needs time to show a full range of flavors. Best from 2008 through 2030. 3 cases imported."

93 points Joel Payne (International Wine Cellar): "[$393 list] High-toned aromas of pear drop, quince and mint. An incredibly dense nectar of sweet pineapple and lime fruits with rapier-like acidity. The intense, salty minerality soars on the finish. Offers outstanding potential, but this may not reach its peach for 20 years."
