'The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Beaux Bruns is turning into a beautiful Burgundy. There are plenty of bright red berries, raspberry and wild strawberry on the seamless nose, with a hint of marmalade loitering in the background. The palate displays fine concentration, quite powerful and perhaps more masculine than Ghislaine Barthod's usual style, but it is adorned with a compelling spicy finish. This is only beginning to show what it can do. Drink 2015-2025.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Aug 2013)

'The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny Les Beaux-Bruns is a beautiful wine. The linearity of the vintage is nicely balanced by the fleshiness this site confers. The Beaux Bruns is a relatively approachable 2008 that impresses for its gorgeous balance and long, polished finish.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (May 2011)

'The 2008 Beaux Bruns is yet another superb bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure, complex and vibrant, as it jumps from the glass in a mix of black cherries, cocoa, woodsmoke, a touch of plum, complex soil tones and a topnote of vinesmoke. On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and very classy, with lovely mid-palate depth and nascent complexity, tangy acids, ripe tannins and fine length on the potentially very velvety finish. This should drink a year or two sooner than the equally fine les Baudes, and last at least as long. Another really outstanding wine.' - John Gilman, 92/100 (Nov 2009)
