Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2019 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from purchased fruit. It has a very well defined bouquet with lifted red berry fruit, rose petals, hints of liquorice and orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a harmonious and quite persistent finish.
About the Producer
For vinifications and ageing, our methods are little interventionist.The fruit’s quality is essential to craft 24 great wines. We make fresh, fine and elegant wines which are also full bodied with a long lasting and mouth-watering finish. Each of our terroirs (Clos de la Roche, Morey, Gevrey-Chambertin, …) expresses itself through our wines. Our ageing in barrels (20 to 30% new oak) is rather long (20 or 22 months), on lees and without racking after malolactic fermentation. The wines are bottled using gravity, without fining in order to keep the wine’s freshness and its ageing potential.
