Wine Advocate (90-92)The 2015 Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru has a very elegant bouquet. Usually I find Damoy's wines a little too extracted for my personal taste, although here there is admirable Pinot Noir expression. An omen for the future? The palate is medium-bodied with black pepper-tinged red berry fruit, a slight dustiness developing towards the finish, but there is respectable concentration and persistence on the finish. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru comes from 0.60-hectares of vines split over two parcels, one planted in the 1950s and the other in 2001 when the old vines were pulled up. It is completely destemmed. It has a refined bouquet, very well defined, natural and poised with slightly earthy red berry fruit that grow in stature in the glass.
