Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 14
The 2012 Griotte-Chambertin is pure silk on the palate. Sweet red cherries, rose petals, mint, wild flowers, spices and hard candy blossom in a super-refined, polished Burgundy. This is classic Griotte in its ethereal aromatics, layered fruit and weightless personality. Now you see it, now you don't. A wine of quintessential minimalism, the Griotte is a mesmerizing beauty.
