Critics Ratings

'The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras has a more expressive bouquet than the 2010 Beaux-Bruns at the moment. There are lilting scents of crushed strawberry, Morello, rose petal and traces of the sea at low tide. The palate is very well defined with harmonious, quite filigree tannin, showing more tension than the Beaux-Bruns towards the engaging finish. Superb. Tasted at Goedhuis's Burgundy tasting at Vintners Hall. Drinking window 2021-2036.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (May 2019)

'The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras '11 has an understated, graceful bouquet that unfolds in the glass: black cherries, sous-bois, cranberry leaf and wet stone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, good acidity and cohesion, but backward and almost surly on the finish, demanding that you don't come back for two or three years at least. Good potential, so bunker this down for three or four years and it will surely blossom.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Nov 2014)

'Firm and fine with lots of fruit and structure and a bit of tannin but quite enough fruit to trump it. Remarkably, this tastes more Barthod than 2011.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2013)
