Jancis Robinson: Black cherry, fine tannic grip, refreshing acid. Intense dark fruit that has the power to last. Dark smoky finish with gorgeously refreshing crispness. Well defined and luxurious and has all the elegance of Chambolle. 17.5/20

Tim Atkin MW: 93 Points

Wine Advocate, Neal Martin: The 2016 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Chabiots was picked on 25 September, includes 30% whole bunch fruit and 35% new oak barrels. It has a pretty bouquet, quite pure considering that the appellation was affected by frost, with subtle rose petal scents filtering through the crushed strawberry fruit with a touch of cold stone. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, nicely poised with a fresh, quite lithe and harmonious finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine. 90-92 Points

Decanter Magazine

Bright, relatively easy and forward on the palate - a Chambolle which is more about florality and delicacy than power. This doesn't mean there is any lack of concentration but the wine has a lovely lift, fine tannins and succulent, integrated oak. A fine, typical, ChambolleMusigny. Chabiots is situated just above Amoureuses, sharing similarly shallow soils and proximity to limestone bedrock as its more illustrious neighbour.

Medium deep colour, slightly weaker rim, hard to find the nose at first. Quite fine boned, a delicate Chambolle with good persistence but lesser presence at the front. I Iike the quality of the fruit though, with some fresh cherries at the back.

Wine Spectator

Pretty berry, rose, sandalwood and vanilla notes grace this silky, delicate red. Beautifully balanced and almost seamless in texture, making this approachable now, Should age well. Drink now through 2035.
