Ripe and very floral aromas display pure red pinot fruit that is cut with minerality and crushed herb that introduce earthy and stony middle weight flavors that possess a taut muscularity and excellent power on the beautifully well-balanced and lingering finish.

Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin 2002 This is really quite pretty too but it can't match the depth and explosive quality of the Griotte. Still, there is good complexity on the high-toned red fruit nose cut with an almost pungently earthy character followed by a very fresh, intense and precise palate impression and fine length. In short, this is an exceptionally refined wine that will also require plenty of time.

Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Latricières-Chambertin 2011 Grand Cru, BH:94, 8bc0.5cm, 4bc1cm
An exquisitely fresh and pure nose of cool red currant and mineral reduction slides gracefully into detailed, precise and restrained mediumbodied flavors that possess excellent verve and a taut muscularity. This really brims with minerality on the mouth coating finish that delivers super length. Terrific.

This brooding and powerful effort is much more backward and primary than the Charmes with its overtly muscular and stony broad-shouldered flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate stuffing. The supporting tannins are very firm though not hard or aggressive and this adds to the present austerity on the otherwise ripe, long, well-balanced and palate staining finish. Impressive.

Domaine Dugat-Py Mazoyères-Chambertin 2011 Grand Cru, BH:93-95
The intense, muscular and brooding flavors that decidedly less evolved as well with an imposing size and weight that is amplified though the rustic and massively long finish.

A discreet application of wood allows the less elegant but more complex nose ripe dark berry and black raspberry fruit aromas that also possess plenty of Gevrey character merge into rich, full and very generous sweet and textured medium full-bodied flavors that deliver plenty of punch and outstanding length.

Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bèze 2002 Grand Cru, BH:94, bc1cm, bsl, tl, lsc
While not nearly as reserved as it once was the beautifully spicy and welllayered nose is on the restrained side with a distinctly earthy character to the elegant mix of both red and dark pinot fruit aromas that are just now beginning to display secondary hints. There is fine concentration to the utterly delicious flavors that are exuberant, big, rich, round and seductively sappy before culminating in an explosive and strikingly persistent finish.
