100 points (20/20)/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "Even more brightness and vinosity in the Chambertin, which dominates the debate with ease and assumes an extraordinary concentration. The freshness, the length, the accuracy of definition gives this great wine, free of anything superfluous, a natural authority that places it among the absolute reference wines of Burgundy. (2019)"

97 points Tim Atkin, MW (2018).

95-97 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru contains 50% whole bunch fruit this year, after half the vineyard (three parcels) was decimated by frost. It has a very elegant bouquet that takes time to unfold in the glass: blackberry, raspberry, wild hedgerow, wet stone and a touch of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, leaning more toward red fruit than black, well balanced with a fine line of acidity and a grainy, structured finish. Classic Chambertin here and a great success considering the extent of the frost damage. Drink: 2022-2050. (Dec 2017)"

95-97 points/'Outstanding+' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Le Chambertin is at least one step up in quality. The bouquet offer very intense fruit – very tightly knit and with a certain seriousness compared to the more lavish 2015. On the palate same story – the intensity is tremendous, yet with a natural and classic feel – a lovely display of terroir and minerality. A wine of great balance and finesse – airy yet powerful, energetic yet with a zen like effortlessness and focus. Drink from 2036. (11/17/17)"

96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Jean-Louis Trapet’s 2016 Chambertin is a brilliant wine in the making. The bouquet is pure, complex and utterly refined, as it delivers a stunning blend of red and black cherries, cassis, grilled meats, woodsmoke, bitter chocolate, a very complex base of soil and a fine base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, complex and rock solid at the core, with great focus and grip, impeccable balance and a long, ripely tannic and seamless finish. Great Chamby! 2030-2100. (Nov/Dec 2017)"

96 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Fine full purple colour. Quite a weight of fruit on the nose, but slightly indistinct at first. Then it freshens up and purifies. Also deepens in intensity. Some stems here. A whopper on the palate. Grace charm, and oak then a slightly dry finish. This is one of the wines where the adolescent gawkiness is apparent, but all should drop very nicely into place. Tasted: September 2019."
