Professional reviewers have praised this wine for its elegance and complexity. According to Decanter, which awarded the wine a score of 93, it is crafted from a 2.2-hectare parcel in the Grande Chapelle section of En La Chapelle. The 2018 vintage, despite the heat, has yielded a "silky, elegant result." Decanter quotes Damoy, stating, “Chapelle is the Musigny of Gevrey,” highlighting the wine’s similarity to the esteemed Musigny with its "lovely, violet-scented fruit and firm minerality." It is noted to be drinking well now but is expected to improve over the next decade.

Wine Spectator gave this wine an excellent score of 95, emphasizing its "perfumed and pure" nature. The review describes the 2018 Domaine Pierre Damoy Chapelle Chambertin as exuding "vivid cherry, strawberry, rose, sandalwood, and mineral flavors." Despite its charm and elegant profile, Wine Spectator commends its well-integrated acidity and tannins, describing the wine as "balanced and long, with a chalky feel underlining the fruit- and spice-flecked aftertaste." The publication suggests that the best drinking window for this wine is from 2024 through 2042, with only 207 cases made and 14 cases imported.

In summary, the 2018 Domaine Pierre Damoy Chapelle Chambertin is a noteworthy Pinot Noir that has garnered high praise for its elegance, balance, and potential for aging. Both Decanter and Wine Spectator highlight its refined profile and complex flavors, making it a standout choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
