Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a vivacious bouquet with fine delineation, fragrant rose petal and peony scents infuse the mixture of red and black fruit that intensify with aeration, almost sorbet like with touches of squeezed orange zest. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit. Fine detail and poise in situ, very focused and surfeit with livewire energy, this is destined to be a superb Griotte-Chambertin for long-term ageing. Four barrels produced.
