Maison Jessiaume 2008 Pinot Noir (Chapelle-Chambertin)
- $105
An impressive wine, full of smoky fruit, concentrated black cherry flavors and rich acidity. It has a complete feel to it, the tannins well integrated into the heart of the wine. There is a final freshness, liveliness, but don’t be fooled—age it for at least seven years.

Domaine Drouhin-Laroze 2004 Pinot Noir (Chapelle-Chambertin)
- Cellar Selection
- $119
This is a big wine, and so young. The fruits are vibrantly fresh, but the tannins are still somewhat set apart. Just wait; this is so intense and concentrated that it will be stunning. For now, admire the structure and the fruit from afar; don’t open until 2012.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2007 Pinot Noir (Chapelle-Chambertin)
- $214
A big, rounded wine that brings in power, concentration and weight. Perhaps too much weight: a huge mouthful of fruit and tannins. It really needs many years to come together with all this punch and rich texture.

Bouchard Pere & Fils 2006 Pinot Noir (Chapelle-Chambertin)
- $225
Initially round, this develops a strong minerality, with a texture that is firm and dominating ripe fruit. There is definite austerity here. The wine is at present firm and tough, and needs several years to open up.
