93 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from the limit with the forest that produces a low yields (in one year they cut the trees and the yields increased by 20%). Matured in five new barrels, it has a perfumed bouquet with red currant, cranberry and sous-bois notes with a touch of oyster shell. The palate is very well balanced with crisp red berry fruit, fine mineralité with a sense of energy and poise on the finish. There is a fine sustain here, a great contribution to the vintage and the domaine's top wine in 2013. Drink: 2018-2032. (Jun 2015)"
90-93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The domaine has sixty year-old vines in their excellent parcel of Chambertin and there is a great wine under its veneer of new wood in 2013. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, plums, cocoa, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and plenty of spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and offers a very good core, with excellent soil signature, sound acids and a long, tannic and focused finish. I get the sense that the wine is starting to rise up from under its new wood and will come right with bottle age, with the fruit and soil tones taking over the center stage in the wine, but it will take some years for this to happen. If Jean-Louis Trapet can make such a brilliant Chambertin with forty percent new oak, why not try a bit less here? However, this is still going to be a very good wine when the wood integrates and will be well worth drinking down the road. 2023-2070. (Mar/Apr 2015)"
This is a very small domaine at only 11ha (all of which is biodynamically farmed). Tortochot crafts a style and quality of wine that transcends their prices. If you are a fan of the purity found in old-school Burgundy, you will love these wines. With the help of noted consultant Sylvain Pataille (of Roumier fame), Tortochot has quietly been producing traditionally-styled wines that have become the subject of much swooning by critics. The hype train is gaining steam, the wines are for real, and they present extreme value in today's Burgundy landscape.
