Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru was also performing brilliantly, exhibiting aromas of cherries, wild berries and cassis mingled with smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with fine concentration, ripe structuring tannins and lively acids. Multidimensional and complex, this is an excellent Chambertin from Leroux.
