A bottle you buy for the wait as much as for the immediate pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChambertin occupies the mid slope of Gevrey-Chambertin, south of the village, on thin limestone soils covered with small stones. The exposure is due east, the slope regular and the drainage natural: conditions that bring the Pinot Noir to full ripeness without heaviness. It is the most firmly framed cru of the Côte de Nuits, the one that combines serious tannic power with an almost contradictory fineness of grain. The early years often mask this architecture, which reveals itself after a decade in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the most recent vintages of the cuvée, all vintages combined.
