Critics Ratings

‘Here the nose is similar to that of the Combottes except that it is even more elegant and high-toned plus it evidences more of an emphasis on minerality that continues onto detailed, racy and focused medium-bodied flavors brimming with dry extract and energy on the driving finish that delivers sneaky length. There is a different personality here as well as a touch of youthful austerity that will require a few years to emerge from its shell. A terrific wine of balance and finesse but there is no lack of grip. Highly recommended.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jan 2010)

‘The 2007 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is exceptional, offering up a beautifully pure bouquet of red cherries, raspberries and peony, with scant sign of the tertiary nuances to come. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and glossy, with a succulent core of fruit that largely conceals its tannic frame, concluding with a long, chalky finish that's firmly stamped by the terroir of Les Cras.’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Dec 2018)
